Gore Vidal has died

[El Kabong]

He's one of those people in history that you must have an opinion of. I would expect @Gandalf to have a great deal to say about him, whether its good or bad I am not yet certain.

Your thoughts?

....I personally found the man to be one of the more repulsive, self important, obscene, & heartless bastards that I've ever heard speak.

He thought FDR knew the Attack on Pearl Harbor was going to happen and did nothing. He thought 9/11 was not an "inside job" but more like Pearl Harbor just something a sitting President allowed to happen. However it was not his politics that I find most vile it is his view of the Roman Polanski sexual abuse case about which he said "I really don’t give a fuck. Look, am I going to sit and weep every time a young hooker feels as though she’s been taken advantage of?"

Heartless old queen

Anyone who referred to Ronald Reagen as "A triump of the embalmers art", cant be all bad.

That about sums it up, Vidal was a worthless blowhard, best ignored.

I'm a borderline socialist (well, not really) who graduated with a major in American history and I know pretty much nothing about him. I am a walking shame.

Dont feel too bad mate.

Im a borderline sociopath (well, really) who never graduated in anything. I know pretty much about one thing; Im a walking game .

I had to look the fucker up, I never heard of him I thought he was probably an ex Russian defector /spy or something.

Fuck off you right wing brainless plebs. Gore Vidal was a decant man with principles and could write. Get out of here with your gun wielding, toothless gurning, hillbilly, religion obsessed screwheads. You people make me angry. Anyone with a modicum of sense and logic to their politics is to be denounced and yet you all want Romney? Go fuck yourselves and your half sisters. I am not impressed and will take no prisoners.
