Is Ted Turner a Bigot?

| 1 Comment

Most of you are familiar with the latest Ted Turner controversy. There was a kerfuffle after that, with some wondering if Ted might have had darker motives for his outburst.

I thought that was loony. Until now:

"...That just makes him sound like some relatively harmless blowhard when, in fact, he is a dyed-in-the-wool and very dangerous hater of the Jews....

I witnessed his anti-Semitism three decades ago in Newport, R.I., while covering America's Cup campaigns for months at a time. Turner was a total embarrassment to the yachting establishment (itself a pretty prejudiced lot at the time) with his crude anti-Jewish "jokes." They often had to drag him out of post-race press conferences for fear of what he might say."

Normally, I don't pay attention to features like this. But Neal Travis of the NY Post is speaking from experience in his June 20 article, and he put his name behind the story. As surprised and disappointed as I am by his conclusion, I believe him.

Not only does Ted Turner hate Jews, but he hates Native Americans. He has sent folks to sabatoge any Natives that come up against hior try to contact him. He has always been predjudice and puts on a good liberal front. But in reality he is the worst kind of evil. One that pretends to be something its not in order to use their position to manipulate public opinion.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
