War is Just Goofy, Says CNN Founder

Entertainment magnate and philanthropist Ted Turner told a National Press Club luncheon on Monday that war is not the way to get things done; bombing people seems goofy; and sitting down with the leader of North Korea is the best answer to problems arising this week.

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!

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

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!

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

War is goofy.

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.

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

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!

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.
