War is Just Goofy, Says CNN Founder

[couragio235]

Ted Turner should run for office. He is awesome & I agree with his views 100% - period!!!

[WausauFamily]

War is goofy.

[irpacynot]

Perhaps not the most eloquent speaker, but his views and approach are genius. It's a shame to see him put so much faith in the United Nations, but I still believe he's a great man.

[funkadelicafie]

The last two comment-ers really get it.

We will hear more of Ted as he makes the rounds with his new book, CALL ME TED, or something like that... I love his interviews... so darn candid and mostly RIGHT ON!

[ElAlexxis]

to me it is amazing that what he says is "controversial".. makes you wonder where in limbo the u.s mentality exists..

[Etatdesiege1979]

Awesome Ted. The man has his shortcomings, but Boy!, Can he talk with the freedom we all wish to have!. Is refreshing to see! Also I wish half of the young people I know ( I am 29 - from Panama ) could have at least 1/3 of the decency to stand to their convictions.

Too bad he struggles with the bottle.

I am out!

[mankind2112]

Ol' crazy Teddy, he's still good for a laugh.

[coorsbabesrule]

amen! i love ted turner, that's the smartest thing i've heard in a long time.

[stavrophotography]

This man has really put his heart an soul into making the world a better place for all of us. How anyone can speak against this man is beyond me. His biggest mistake was letting CNN and The Braves go .Two mistakes big mistakes. GWB hasn't once said anything he's done is a mistake.

[miketheday]

Turner should get on the Ron Paul Wagon!

They both think alike. They both tell the truth and shoot from the hip. Just tell the truth to the people! Ron Paul, check him out!

[goodnewsnetwork]

good point!

[gitauwamuiruri]

true but unrealistic

[outerreff]

he is brilliant. i love him..

[goodnewsnetwork]

YAY! thanks for writing...

[Crowbarcode]

Mr. Turner is retarded. Embarrasing to hear this,,

[goodnewsnetwork]

No, he's not... :)

really!

We are just used to hearing polished politicians and PR people talking on tv and at podiums.

This guy is just a REAL down-home, plain spoken midwesterner. He doesn't plan what he says so it sometimes comes out sounding odd. But, really, he is one of the smartest people out there. He's just making the point that we shouldn't be invading and bombing.

I think he's endearing.

I don't see anything smart about him. He started CNN, it was a good idea, he got very lucky and made a lot of money, that does not make him smart. Smartness is analyzed by listening to him talk, that is the opposite from smart.

[goodnewsnetwork]

"He got very lucky"...

Luck is not something you can mention in the presence of self-made men...

Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect. - Emerson

[RussoSlyCat]

"you can't bomb refugees, very well"

Does Ted Turner sit on the porch of CNN with a shotgun yelling at people?

[gmitsu]

He looks like a ten years old children when he talks.Not a good thing for a press magnate.

[beverly555]

"He looks like a ten years old children' well, gmitsu, a 10 year old sounds better than you.

[gmitsu]

A 10 years old from usa or england.I'm from Brazil.

[PhatPhing]

CNN could have remained a news network. It's too bad.

Ted should start a news network to fill the vacuum.

[goodnewsnetwork]

He was asked this question, would he ever start another cable news station. He answered, No. You really need a big corporation behind you.

[joemad]

it's ok, there's still fox news for legitimate unbiased news

[figocooldude]

was that sarcasm?

[joemad]

if you have to ask, all hope is lost for you. kill yourself now.
