  • boze and maddness!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think  what he is tryen to say is i am just a dude

  • boze and maddness!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • _/°)

  • I always recite Buk when I'm drunk. I can't walk straight but I never miss a word.

  • Charles, my next drink, I drink to you

  • one of the few true poets of america

  • Diggin it!

  • Hey Charles!

    You bloody bastard!

    I will give you new versions of poetry and Truth you never bothered to go into!

    Is that what you wanted when you invaded my brain 10 years ago??

    I hope you and the rest of the drunks will keep a seat for me in the Bar in Heaven!!

    Have you fought Hemingway and Olaf Bull yet?

    Show me your grave, and I'll piss on it!

  • @bohemianwriter1 I can tell you're a shitbird

  • @rikiryuu

    I'll shit on his grave.... And I can tell you are... a moron....

  • @bohemianwriter1

    Are you for real? You're a fucking joke, bro. Your very existence is evidence enough that it is our damnation, in a very literal sense, to stew in a crockpot of social disease. Please abort yourself immediately, I'm certain that the fools who spawned you wish they had done it when they had the chance.

  • @Wreckdom

    Was I sober when I wrote it?

    Does it really matter?

    Who does it matter to?

    Have you any visions of that damnation? I'd love to hear about it....

  • @rikiryuu shitbird?lol

  • Why do people who don't like his stuff bother to seek out videos about him to comment?

  • Funny how Palahniuk came along shortly after Buk's death...Americans despise the lie, love the good clean simple line...

  • @Bdubya15 Agreed, he was good... but jeez! All this for him?!

  • @Bdubya15

    I write better than him...

  • @bohemianwriter1 bullshit. Just another wannabe with a jackass user name like "bohemianwriter". Piss off.

  • @gtrrs71

    Thanks for noticing me "doc!".

    To where do I send the 5 dollar fee?

    For how long have this distingushied gentleman travelled and writing bullshit?

  • could someone tell me, did bukowski read and record any of his books? (like an audiobook or whatever its called)

  • :))) 

  • sitting in the crowd and laughing is like going to the zoo and watching a monkey shitting...clap, clap, clap

  • Avoid the cunts. Enjoy life. These are words of a clear mind.

  • @GordonMorrice Avoid the pricks is a pretty good one too.

  • I'll take Steven Jessie Bernstein over Bukowski any day.

  • @calico992 you'll take a dick in the ass too

  • Listen to this man, he leads to freedom. And booze. LOTS of booze and the problems that go with booze. But there's no boss, no leader, no pain-master. Just friends, madness and booze. Or you could ask that promotion, John.

  • it seems to me that every night turns out to be a little bit more like bukowski, but yet i know its a pretty good read, but god who'd wanna be, god who'd wanna be such an asshole.

  • Bukowski is the greatest writer of 200 years - the most important writer of this time. With a heart of love he told us how to do it ... right on through. Instinct and heart turned to starlight. A drunk through the eye of a needle - he is the biggest miracle of the 20th century.

  • way to go Buk

  • ah bukowski comments ... who can endure them? Generation x slime all the way: hatred masquerading as cleverness. You dick heads are still haters: still part of this world: still sell outs of a different kind. Bukowski said: 'find out where the spirit is?' And now you fuckin' dullards know ...

  • @PeterCooksArse and your hate for all the haters is just as bad as the rest.

  • @AcrustE how you figure?

  • Bukowski is sensitive, but not in the effeminate, waspish way which most people define "sensitive" as. He truly does "feel" things, and each experience is like muddy footprints on a clean broadsheet.

  • My head feels like it got cut down the middle and sewn back together today.

  • Bukowski expresses his truth while most people hide from their own.

  • @Bremerxxxx Did you come up with that on your own?

  • whats the music at the end of this?

  • @theforbiddenplanet  I'm pretty sure that's a piano.

  • Ha!

  • Teaser Trailer for Charles Bukowski short film - ALL THE GREAT WRITERS - on youtube...

    Check it out...

  • He rerminds me of George Carlin. I won't be swurprised if Bukowski was one of Carlin's influence.

  • May I recommend: STEVEN JESSIE BERNSTEIN'S poem NO NO MAN! Go check it out right now!

  • are you being serious or just messin with me? all i did was leave an "f" out of "perfect". even you wrote "your" instead of "you're" in your comment.

  • i'm always meetin people who say they're writers. i ask to see their work and they say, "uh, no, i'm still working on it" or "my work's gotta be perect before i let people read it, so no." then i ask them what poets they like and they say, "mainly this guy charles bukowski. he's pretty underground though, so you probably haven't heard of him." that's the moment I know they're a hack. if they somehow think bukowski is "underground." he's the most famous poet of the last 30 years by far.

  • Most famous in the past 30 years. By an chance are you fucked out of your mind?

  • not at all. name a more famous poet from the last 30 years. and if you say "maya angelou," it will explain a lot to me.

  • Comment removed

  • I'll send you some food and another raw hooker.

  • What is the name of that piano-song in the ending?

  • "i feed him whiskey. and raw whores."

    HAHAHAHHAAA! genius.

  • bukowski is much more sensitive than all the fuckers think. he's more human as thousand people I met on the streets every day! buk lives in my heart...

  • @l7m7g7 He is very misunderstood.

  • no hope.....just booze and madness.

  • I knew it!!

  • Pure butter!

  • Bukowski is XX age Diogenes from Kyon, awesome deep of thinking, awesome man!!!!!

  • There never were any "raw whores"

    the cage was smaller but with a window.

    when he'd pass out out I would drink his liquor, throw away defile pages of drunken poetry.

    but I never screwed his girlfriend like he beat me for.

  • Bukowski, I know you would have told me to fuck off if I told this to you face to face; but I found you in the worst time of my life, and you saved me. You really did.

  • fuck off, kid.  i never saved you. you saved yourself.

    or so i'd imagine he'd say.

  • Probably more so something you stole from a cheap movie because you can't think of your own lines. More importantly though, all joking aside. From me to you, fuck off.

  • gosh you're unnecessarily hostile. you shouldn't get so worked up over things people say to you on the internet. it's bad for the blood pressure.

  • Frankly I found being unnecessarily hostile is the only way to deal with asshole in general.

  • don't worry, shadowsoldier is just your standard bukowski-imitating dumbass.

  • @JimmyVonJim

    damn it!  but that's my schtick! how dare he?

  • You're not alone bro, lots of us are singing that same tune.

  • you are bthe great Buk with the great Céline and "La France" love you...I love this América...je vous embrasse.

  • Great poem, even better face.

  • This guy is my hero. To actually embrace alcoholism...wow.

  • You are right. Parov Stelar's Seven & Storm is amazing. Thanks for the heads up.

  • Jamais um escritor me fez rir tanto.

    Bukowski além de um tremendo escritor,

    era super engraçado.

  • oh Charles, you funny bastard :-)

  • I am lonely now but very drunk I don`t know is it bad for my healthy helou creeps Iam waiting someone who hate his or hers job still take care his works and wait Charles did it could We ?

  • Nice one Charlie,

  • Great stuff.

  • OK, since you came a cross this video I have to turn you onto something amazing. I was on Kho San Road in Bangkok Thailand and heard this CD playing Ibiza Fever 2005 so I had to buy it. One of the cuts was "An Ordinary Life" by Telepopmusik, They sampled this interview to some sick ass trippy downtempo. check it out.

  • That song is what led me to Bukowski. If you like sick ass trippy downtempo music then you should check out Parov Stelar's Seven & Storm album.

  • hahaha

  • Personally, I think rather than the Bible - Bukowski should be in every motel room in America...

  • Amen

  • @RIPHOFFA75

    same here brutha.

  • @RIPHOFFA75  LOL. Five star comment.

  • @RIPHOFFA75 : totally agreed.

  • @RIPHOFFA75 Bukowski's book(s) IS my bible.

  • @RIPHOFFA75

    Well Buk's spirit is in any of them, I'm sure.

  • @RIPHOFFA75 bravo, what a wonderful idea

  • @RIPHOFFA75 wow, OMG yes!

  • @RIPHOFFA75 I don't, I don't want shit I like to be for everyone, the bible is perfect for idiots

  • @RIPHOFFA75 ....Now didn't you just steal that thought from Lawrence Durrell?...You shouldn't steal other people's thoughts -- you'll always be found out....

  • @kp9952

    No...and yes, I will be found out. I'll write my own brilliant poetry someday...

  • @RIPHOFFA75 Only the cheap ones though. I couldnt handle it if those that stay in the $200 $300 and $400 a night rooms all of a sudden started saying "yeah, I read Bukowski..."

  • @RIPHOFFA75 That is one of the best statements ever written. Truly.

  • What a funny cray man

  • sweetness

  • his novels are so engrossing and entertaining.ive read ham on rye 3 times.

  • I LOVE Ham on Rye. I've read it twice and wanna read it again. The part where he talks about hearing that kid playing the sad violin after being picked on is so beautiful.

  • I love that book too

  • Where'd you get the painting from around 1:35 from? It's a great picture...

    M

  • The prophet of broken down slums and trash can heavens. May we never forget the world you out before us in such staunch truth.

  • strangely all the best american writers, those that people in other countries liked best, were of german descent (from mencken to henry miller to buk etc...). more, please!

  • Go you Americans! You always find the courage to laugh with the saint and in all the right places.

  • Yes, please post them!

  • I remember this comin' out, I'm pissing myself lol Got one or two live cd's, should I post them? I'm not good with video and sure don't wanna rip anyone off y'know.

  • Post that shit! please!

  • one of my favorites, buk knows

  • Buk hated politics-he laughed at the leftists,ridicueled the "peaceniks",really hated their stupidity. If you think Buk favored the left then you have never really bothered to read much about him or by him. He knew that bad,stupid,evil men were from both sides-but he really felt the left and "liberals" the most inane.

  • Go listen to "The Genius of the Crowd". Perfect example.

  • bapyou... got to be somewhere else you can offer the world your manifesto. For as much as I agree with some of your offerings... this isn't the place. This is about Charles Bukowski and him reading some of his body of work. Go away.

  • wars and rumors of wars....the ages of the empires yet not one drop of blood for all the worlds ills. man has yet to develop this primal fear of his brothers lands and yet kills in the name to protect them. at what cost shall we avenge our dead....proclaim them rightous through a sword of justice and beat them into the dust. the story is the same the cast of characters has just changed....

  • That was really, really good. Apart from the lousy fucking music at the end.

  • chinaski is the best

  • See the beaty in uglyness...

  • Haha Buk was the biggest cynic . His presence is deeply missed in this ugly world full of people with ugly souls .

  • Lets hope that the right wing nut is really finished posting. Seriously.

  • Ill buy ya both a drink stfu were here for henry

  • To all my friiiieeeends!

  • I'd like to mention that this is a Bukowski poem.

  • No shit, radicchiojones is right. It is classic Bukowski, profound, funny, ironic, etc. Why the hell is all the political BS here? I got bored tracing it back to it's genesis; actually I got bored with it all years ago, and completely dismayed after the republicans spent eight years gnawing on Bill Clinton to finally bust him for a getting blow job. As President, you would expect that blow jobs from the interns would be a perk of the job.

  • "As President, you would expect that blow jobs from the interns would be a perk of the job."

    LOL

  • Yeah. I know it's a Bukowski poem. The dude with whom I'm arguing (RightWingCon81) initially wrote on this post that Bukowski's work is "shit wrapped up in collective agreement that it's art". (Go back and look it up here.) He's a complete & total tool.

  • The following is a sample of the comments left on RightWingCon81's homepage:

    *you're a douche

    *eat a dick bitch and die cunt son of bitch

    *If you ever get murdered, I think it would make me smile.

    *stop jacking off on you tube all day, get a life loser!

    *fuck you

    The world, it seems, holds him in high regard.

  • Yep, those people are such intelligent mental giants. The fact that you actually had to correct the spelling errors on those posts is a testament to that.

    Those idiots are just like you, small minded fools who send me deat threats and insults because i call them on their bullshit.

  • What's a "deat threat"?

  • KSHHHHHH KSHHHHHH, do you hear that? It's the thunderous roar of the crowd as they applaud your discovery of a typo. Yes, I am an idiot, the H in death got stuck while typing that post. Wait, NO! I actually thought the word death was spelled deat. is it D-E-A-T-H? That's silly. It should be deat.

    Now eat your mother's cunt.

  • RightWingCon81 (1 day ago):

    "Yep, those people are such intelligent mental giants. The fact that you actually had to correct the spelling errors on those posts is a testament to that."

    Those, ladies and gentlemen, are the words of the Con Man eqauting spelling errors and stupidity. Ain't that right Mr. Deat Threat?

    Now that's what I call entertainment!

  • And you want me to "eat (my) mother's cunt?"

    Sucking 80-year old pussy is more your style, not mine. (Wouldn't want to spoil your fun, now would I?)

    Please continue to entertain me.

  • Ohh...and....Mr. Deat Threat/George Bush apologist? Today (15 July 2008) the dollar hit an all-time low against the Euro.

    Excellent. Excellent.

    For further devaluation of United States currency as well as further erosion of U.S. prestige around the world, vote Republican folks!

    or

    Don't vote Republican.

    What's the difference? They'll steal the election anyway!

  • "Those idiots are just like you, small minded fools who send me deat threats and insults because i call them on their bullshit."

    Hell, someone like who has swallowed the pre-fabricated hore-pucky from the Bush admin., who the hell is going to trust your ability to detect "bullshit"?

    Wait! Didn't I see you sucking Karl Rove's dingleberries on PornTube? Yep! It was you alright. Mr. Deat Threat does Washington!

  • YEAHHHH, WAY TO GO, everyone please give him his mandatory applause for Bush bashing.

    Hey,moron, would you please tell me when I ever served as a "Bush apologist"? Or when i ever shared my political views outside of my SN? Bush is NO RIGHTWINGER,he spends like a filthy dem,and yeah,the dollar is down,oil is up ever since the dem took the house and senate. HMMM! I wonder if that has anything to do with it. 

    What are you still doing here anyway? I thought I told you to eat your mother's cunt.

  • "What are you still doing here anyway? I thought I told you to eat your mother's cunt."

    Yes, you did tell me that. But, as I wrote previously, the 80 year-old pussies are your department, not mine. I wouldn't want to take away your sole source of getting a piece of ass. I'll give you my momma's phone number if you want it. Always glad to play matchmaker for my friends.

  • I'm for less spending (Bush is a big spender) I'm for secure borders, Bush wants amnesty. Lower taxes and an end to big intrusive government. I'm for free markets, and strong national security. The only good thing about Bush is that he's a bad ass and takes no shit from filthy ragheads. Bush is a RINO (Republican In Name Only).

  • "I'm for less spending (Bush is a big spender)"

    Whoa! You have some novel ideas for a Repub! How 'bout that Nat. debt?

    "I'm for secure borders"

    No such thing will ever exist.

    "Lower taxes and an end to big intrusive government."

    Lower for everyone & not just the 5% richest?

    "I'm for free markets"

    Ha ha. That's a good one. Price supports for Amer. farmers? Massive welfare for military defense contractors? Sounds like socialism to me. Or, at least, some form of a fixed game.

  • "(I'm for) strong national security"

    Can't have that without spending, Deat Threat. Can't have that without spending.

  • "The only good thing about Bush is that he's a bad ass and takes no shit from filthy ragheads."

    What about the non-filthy ragheads? Bush is "bad-ass"? I see you fall for that easy jumpsuit/cowboy photo-op bullshit. Guy didn't even have the balls to do any real service during the Vietnam War. His grandpa & daddy slip him ahead of the line to get into the TX Air Nat. Guard where he went AWOL! Bad ass? Lamest example of bad-ass I've ever seen. "Cushy soft rich boy" = more appropriate.

  • You keep spewing the dem talking points, I'm done with you.

  • Ooooooooooo.

    Da wittle boy can't handle the truth about his big bad ass hero?

    Is wittle boy gonna go home and cwy to his mommy?

    "Waaa! He's using Deomcrat tawking points, even do dey are twuuuuue! Waaa! Mommy! Help! Pwease! He's a bad man on da computa! Telling the truth about my hewo George Bush!! Waaa! Waaaa!"

    Keep sticking up for the billionaires, puss. They enjoy it.

    You got no answers; only wrong-headed convictions. That's why your leaving this discussion. Puss.

  • Chew on this, Deat Threat:

    The radical Muslim movement in 1990s Algeria eventually fizzled when they began accusing each other of not being "pure" enough Muslims. The movement dwindled to smaller and smaller groups until what was left were lone nuts hiding out in the mountains.

    When you write "George Bush is not a true conservative", it sounds vaguely familiar.

    Enjoy the fizzle.

  • Morons like you who hate the republican party because we are "the party of the rich" of the top 5% of the billionaires are simply losers who never could make anything of themselves and they want the dems to wipe their asses for them. And hey, deat threat, Y-O-U-R is your, Y-O-U apostrophe R-E is you are. Learnt eh difference.

  • Thanks for the grammatical corection, Deat Threat. It's the only thing you've be right about in this exchange.

    Are you one of the billionaires in the top 5% Deat Threat? You gonna get there some day Death Threat?

    & I don't hate Republicans, Deat Threat. Just the particular bunch in office at present. My favorite uncle was a Republican.

    As I wrote before: Enjoy the fizzle, Mr. Con. (Apt name.)

  • My very screenname lead you to believe I was a Bush supporter, you prejudged me BECAUSE I'm a Republican.

    I'm fairly well off but my politics is based on more than economic policies. Economic freedom and liberty go hand in hand. Liberal economic policies keep the poor poor, and bleed the rich. That's much better than allowing people the freedome to advance in life right?

    "Deat Threat. It's the only thing you've be right about in this exchange"

    you've be right? TEE HEE!

  • "you've be right? TEE HEE!"

    That's right, Deat threat, you've be right. Ebonics.

    Since you're the one who first equated a spelling error with stupidity druing this exchange, you deserve to get it thrown back at you Deat Threat.

    "Liberal economic policies keep the poor poor, and bleed the rich."

    And conservative economic policies keep the rich rich and bleed the poor.

    Of course, bleeding the poor of the world is good for business. You choose to ignore the blood.

  • DRUING what?

    Now spelling errors aside, how exactly do rep economic policies bleed the poor? Please explain that to me.

    "Coporate capitalism owes nothing to the public good. It owes everything to its shareholders. War is good for profits."

    COPORATE? Anyway, capitalism is based in the private sector, very true, and what's wrong with that? Read Smith, or Friedman, they'll explain how pursuing profit indirectly benefits society. Also, war negatively impacts capitalism you moron.

  • "war negatively impacts capitalism"

    Ho ho ho. Very funny.

    "Read Smith, or Friedman, they'll explain how pursuing profit indirectly benefits society."

    Do you mean, like, when a health care company chooses to deny compensation for a necessary procedure so that they can keep their bottom line in the black? That kind of benefit? I'm with you there then. That's a real bonafide example of how capitalism benefits society. Thank your hero Ronald Ray-Gun for instigating the health care crisis.

  • The health crisis in this country stems from gov't interference into insurance companies. I guess we would be better off with the UK or Canada's system. I mean they may have people dying in ERs people backed up for EMERGENCY procedures for at least 6 months,and insane taxes. Or maybe Sweden's system,you know the one that nearly bankrupted them in the 90s. I prefer a society that allows people to make their own way,where BUSINESS creates jobs,NOT gov't where the desire for profit benefits all.

  • "The health crisis in this country stems from gov't interference into insurance companies."

    Absolutely incorrect. It is the result of letting these corporate entities (ther health care copanies) operate without any controls at all. They deny coverage to anyone they can in any way they can. If you're sick, you CANNOT GET HEALTH COVERAGE! Then, let me ask you, smart fuck apologist, if not to help the sick, JUST WHAT THE FUCKING HELL IS HEALTH CARE FOR?

  • The health care crisis comes from companies that b/c of over regulation offer packaged policies that include unnecessary "benefits" to certain patients.If the gov't stepped back and allowed these companies to offer what is called a"cafeteria style" health care system it could be MUCH more affordable.Healthcare is there to help people,sure,but insurance companies have one TOP priority,and that is PROFIT.God forbid a business is in business for profit and not some charity work.FUCK OFF YOU TWAT!

  • A health care system should be about health care. A health care sysytem should not be about PROFIT. Simple. WRITE BACK AND TELL ME THAT A HORSE SHOULD BE A COW WHY DON'T YOU? YOU FUCKING RICH COCKSUCKING BALL-LICKING WHORE! GO SUCK RONALD REAGAN'S DEAD NUTS!

    And you're a fucking TWAT as well. TWAT!

  • An insurance company is there for profit, a healthcare system set up byuncle Sam will be bankrupted in a number of years like they bankrupted social security.

  • "I guess we would be better off with the UK or Canada's system."

    You're damn straight we would be better off.

    "I mean they may have people dying in ERs people backed up for EMERGENCY procedures for at least 6 months"

    Complete bullshit and lies.

    "(They have) insane taxes."

    If true, at least they are getting something for those taxes.

    "I prefer a society...where BUSINESS creates jobs, NOT gov't where the desire for profit benefits all."

    Who's jobs? China's & India's?

  • "how exactly do rep economic policies bleed the poor?"

    We've been hearing about tax cuts from you idiots (Republicans) for generations now. I have yet to see ANY tax relief whatsoever with a Republican in office. Trickle down BULLSHIT is what it is. It's a bunch of flat out bullshit. It's tax relief for the rich. Nothing more. Nothing more AT ALL.

    2. Aynone with money can avoid paying taxes if they have a savvy enough accountant.

  • Tax cuts increase revenue,PERIOD,this is BASIC economics. Reagan repaired the failed Carter economy with tax cuts. It stands to reason that if you allow those who are the most productive to have more money to PRODUCE they will increase jobs and profits. And why should the rich not get the better cuts? the top 10% pays 92% of the taxes in this country. THEY DESERVE the cuts(or rather WE deserve them).Your loser bullshit rant is the cy of the loser the redistribution of wealth BULLSHIT rant AGAIN!

  • "the top 10% pays 92% of the taxes in this country"

    And more bullshit from YOU.

    "allow those who are the most productive to have more money to PRODUCE they will increase jobs and profits"

    Trickle down bullshit. The rich are productive at what exactly? Increasing their portfolio margins? Collecting interest? What, motherfucker? What?

  • Look: I got nothing against anyone with money. What I AM against, is those in the upper classes who, for the past 30 years, have categorically defaulted on ANY kind of responsibility to society at large. Such responsibility is what set men like John Kennedy apart. He was from a rich family, but he thought about more than just his own fucking bank account and the bank accounts of his cronies. THAT is focus of the present administration. Try and deny it motherfucker. I'll bust your fucking skull.

  • "war negatively impacts capitalism"

    Haliburton et al. are doing quite well with those cost-plus, no-bid contracts in Iraq. So stick that theory up your ass and plug it with a cork.

  • You're speaking of a handful of companies you stupid cock. We're speaking of CAPITALISM AT LARGE you fucking ass donkey. War impedes liberty, andwhen liberty is limited so is profit. Short term gain is NOT what I'm talking about DICK!

  • "War impedes liberty, andwhen liberty is limited so is profit. Short term gain is NOT what I'm talking about DICK!"

    Apologist! Tell it to your leader!

    And my name isn't Dick, fuckwipe!

  • Sorry Twat, I was thinking about your boyfriend Dick. Sorry about that.

  • Fuck you, asshole. You better hope the fucking guard at your gated community doesn't fall asleep.

  • Check your mail you fucking shylock cock licking Jew Commie, your little boyfriend who posted this vid blocked my posts.

  • "Read Smith, or Friedman, they'll explain how pursuing profit indirectly benefits society"

    Freidman as in Milton Freidman? You mean the same Milton Freidman who - after the CIA helped Augusto Pinochet's coup against the democratically-elected Salvador Allende in Chile in 1973 - was directly involved with the economic policy of the murderous Pinochet? That Milton Freidman?

    As for the benefit of society by pursuing profit, tell that to the people Pinochet murdered.

  • Allende was an elected tyrant who was in been with Castro and was looking to turn Chile into another communist strong hold. He nationalized the copper mines, the trucking companies, he's failed economic systems were bankrupting the country. Milton Friedman's economic ideas were what turned Chile into one of the strongest economic powers in Latin America. And Pinochet murdered those who threatened that balance. He later gave his country democracy. A truly great man.

  • "Allende was an elected tyrant"

    Lie #1. He worked entirely within the Chile's constitution. The press was never freer under Allende. Never freer.

    "who was in been with Castro and was looking to turn Chile into another communist strong hold."

    Lie #2. That's the International Communist Conspiracy theory, isn't it JimBob? The great ICC never existed, doofus. Anyone can learn Communism. Go to a library. There were no connections between Allende and Castro. And what if there were? So what?

  • "He nationalized the copper mines, the trucking companies"

    Truth #1. What's wrong with having the proceeds of the sale of Chile's raw materials benefitting Chileans? Oh. I see. Chileans aren't Americans. I get it.

    "he's failed economic systems were bankrupting the country."

    Lie #2. the economy "failed" because of the CIA intervention which brought the economy to its knees.

    Have you been to an optometrist recently? I think you have tunnel vision.

  • "Milton Friedman's economic ideas were what turned Chile into (a) strong economic power in Latin America."

    The economy under Allende was going well until the CIA put the screws to it. During Pinochet's economic turnaround, 1000s were murdered, including some Americans. Nice.

    "And Pinochet murdered those who threatened that balance."

    Sounds like a rationale for Stalinism!

    "He later gave his country democracy. A truly great man."

    Ha ha ha ha ha! You're alway good for laugh, ConMan.

  • "The economy under Allende was going well until the CIA put the screws to it."

    Yes, the evil CIA did it. I get it. Do you sleep with foil on your head? They might read your thoughts.

    STEALING an entire industry to give it to "the people" is simply organized theft. Believe wha you want, the evidence is there. Allende was a piece of shit and got got. BITCH!

  • "Yes, the evil CIA did it."

    Correct. You want references? I will give them to you.

    "Do you sleep with foil on your head?"

    No. But you sleep with George Bush's dick up your ass.

    "STEALING an entire industry to give it to "the people" is simply organized theft."
