But Don’t You Dare Call The Left Unpatriotic!

Gore Vidal – Vietnam Truther! (Emphasis added by me)
And what about Mr. McCain? Disaster. Who started this rumor that he was a war hero? Where does that come from, aside from himself? About his suffering in the prison war camp?
Everyone knows he was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. That’s what he tells us.
Why would you doubt him? He’s a graduate of Annapolis. I know a lot of the Annapolis breed. Remember, I’m West Point, where I was born. My father went there.
So what does that have to do with the U.S. Naval Academy down in Annapolis? The service universities keep track of each other, that’s all. They have views about each other. And they are very aware of social class and eventually money, since they usually marry it.
Ah. It’s all about the frat you were in!
Remember – Gore Vidal is a serious commentator.

Gore Vidal is one of the people the left would be better off without. He’s not an ideologue, he’s insane.

I always thought he was a writer of romance novels. *shrug*

Gore Vidal said of WFB’s death:
“I thought hell is bound to be a livelier place, as he joins forever those whom he served in life, applauding their prejudices and fanning their hatred.”
This must be the man from whom angryclown learned his social graces, or lack thereof. Does he try to make other people apologize for Ann Coulter words too?

When was Gore Vidal relevant?

Vidal has this annoying habit of trying to argue from his often irrelevant personal history. He says he knows McCain’s character flaws because McCain went to Annapolis and Vidal’s dad went to West Point. Please. Next he’ll say that Schwarzeneggar is a three foot tall midget because Scharzenaggar is married to a shriver and Vidal is related to the Shrivers. He knows things we can never know.
