We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
BOOOOO!!! Tea Partiers
BOOOOO!!! Glenn Beck
BOOOOO!!! Fanatics
Down With Fanatics:
If I had my way with violent men
I’d simmer them in oil,
I’d fill a pot with bitumen
And bring them to the boil.
I’d execrate the terrorist
And those who harbour him,
And if I weren’t a moralist
I’d tear them limb from limb.
Fanatics are an evil breed
Whom decent men should shun;
I’d like to flog them till they bleed,
Yes, every mother’s son,
I’d like to tie them to a board
And let them taste the cat,
While giving praise, oh thank the Lord,
That I am not like that.
For we should love the human kind,
As Jesus taught us to,
And those who don’t should be struck blind
And beaten black and blue;
I’d like to roast them in a grill
And listen to them shriek,
Then break them on the wheel until
They turned the other cheek.
– Roger Woddis
Will you say the same about the fanatics on the left Barry?
I believe the poem is non-ideological in it’s condemnation of fanaticism.
Wow, the left is so scared that they have to just make s.h.i.t up now. I love it.
You guys are really going to lose big in November.
……………………….
Wow, the left is so scared that they have to just make s.h.i.t up now. I love it.
What are you referring to, Tim Peck(1)?
This is Tim #1, right?
“I believe the poem is non-ideological in it’s condemnation of fanaticism.”
I wasn’t referring to the poem, I was referring to your comments that began the thread.
Will you say the same about the fanatics on the left Barry?
Well, I don’t know. Which lefty fanatics would you like me to Boo?
BTW, did you see that Glenn Beck has started a news website that he calls “The Blaze”? Why ‘Blaze’, you ask? Here’s what he said:
“Flame is a powerful image. It has long stood for a burning truth. A truth that is not consumed.”
Get it? Beck is comparing himself to the Burning Bush. That guy is not just fanatic, but full-on bats***. Anyone who believes in him deserves a “BOOOOOO!!!!”.
Beck is a raging bipolar living on the edge who is woefully short on medication.
Your theory that there are no fanatics on the left is funny.
Violent teabagger goes wild, shoots people, takes hostages. No, wait, never mind. http://bit.ly/9hheVF
…………………………..
Ed Shultz is just as messed up as Beck. Maybe more.
OK, dude shooting up Discovery Channel is actually a left-wing environmentalist whackjob. Media saddened and dismayed. http://bit.ly/9hheVF

Your theory that there are no fanatics on the left is funny.
Point out where I ever said that. If you can’t, admit you are a liar.
OK, dude shooting up Discovery Channel is actually a left-wing environmentalist whackjob.
Emphasis on whackjob. Have you read his manifesto? He calls for “stopping human birth, not encouraging it,” and “stopping ALL immigration pollution and the anchor baby filth that follows that.”
Not exactly mainstream progressive thinking…
Ed Shultz is just as messed up as Beck. Maybe more.
I don’t know about him being worse than Beck, but I’m on record as saying that Ed Schultz is:
“possibly as corrosive to the Left as Rush has been to the Right. When someone calls himself ‘progressive’, and yet seems to be all about self-promotion and making a heap of money, I lose interest in listening to him.”
Schultz is a straight party machine Democrat (former Republican) who poses as a progressive – Beck is a lunatic demagogue who will do real damage to this country if he is able to build a movement of fear-based, hate-based, cloaked-in-religion baloney like he is drifting towards.
Lee said at the time that he experienced an ‘‘awakening” when he watched former Vice President Al Gore’s environmental documentary ‘‘An Inconvenient Truth.”

…………………….
And Manson said the White Album made him do it. Whackjob.
“Here’s what he (Beck) said:
“Flame is a powerful image. It has long stood for a burning truth. A truth that is not consumed.”
He also said this:
“While speaking during his “Restoring Honor” rally Saturday, Beck said that he’d held an original speech given by George Washington.
Beck remarked, “I held the first inaugural address written in his own hand by George Washington.”
But then…
“Beck did receive a special VIP tour of the archives, arranged by an as-yet unidentified member of Congress. During that tour, he did get a peek inside the “legislative vault,” which isn’t open to ordinary visitors…”
…”But Archives spokeswoman Susan Cooper insists that Beck didn’t lay a finger on any precious documents, much less George Washington’s inaugural address. That would be a major violation of policy,” she adds.

Now who are you going to believe, Glenn Beck or that radical archivist Susan Cooper?
I heard on MSNBC that Glenn Beck misspelled a word. Is this true?
……………………………..
Are those bedbugs at the bottom of all your comments, Tim Peck(1)? I hear those are getting bad…
Another right-wing whopper:
Ronald Reagan helped liberate Buchenwald after WWII
False: Reagan spent the entire war in Hollywood making pro-war movies for the Army, and never went anywhere near Buchenwald until decades later. But that didn’t stop him from telling Israeli Prime Minister Shamir in the Oval Office that he had.
Still waiting, Junior. ‘Cause after that thing with Cecil last week, we all know what a stickler you are for people providing facts to back up their statements.
??????? ??
I know I don’t have to translate for you, Jr., ’cause you’re the Pashto expert.
I’m not sure what you’re waiting for Barry. Are you saying the left has no fanatics? That the left spectrum has no tail end? Funny. I’m certainly not having that ridiculous conversation.
I can’t believe I forgot … Olbermann. The biggest kook/fanatic of all. Bathtub boy is already in the fanatic hall of fame.
I’m not sure what you’re waiting for Barry. Are you saying the left has no fanatics?
No, liar. Those are the words you keep trying to put in my mouth. Obviously there are fanatics on the left, and I never said otherwise.
Are you so desperate to feel like you’re winning an argument, that you make up the other person’s side and then mock them for how ridiculous it is? Pathetic.
There’s another Pashto word that describes you:
??? ????
“Well, I don’t know. Which lefty fanatics would you like me to Boo?”
Go ahead and boo some. Just for fun.
BOOOOOOO!!! Jejunior!! BOOOOOO!!!
Its definitely the first time I’ve been called a lefty fanatic. Maybe this is a new turn for me.
“I heard on MSNBC that Glenn Beck misspelled a word. Is this true?
……………………………..”
Here’s what’s true: that you’re not at all phased by the blatant lies of a self-promoting nutjob in pursuit of your extremist whacko Shangri-la pipe dream. You and the other so-called ‘libertarians’ (which is a code word for cheapskates that want everyone else to pony up while they grouse and snivel about ‘taxes’) go and pleasure yourselves to the screeching sound of Beck and his little boy blackboard game and his chronic crying.
Its definitely the first time I’ve been called a lefty fanatic.
Once again, Jejunior, I didn’t call you a lefty fanatic, I called you a liar – in your native Pashto, no less. Why do you continue to give me ammunition?
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/jejune
I’m still waiting for you to boo a lefty. I’ll not hold my breath as you prob agree with all the fanatics on that side.
???? ???
This was fun, but its gotten boring.
How about this … Molton is a single layer guy. He just makes surface observations. I thought being a cartoonist meant you had to have some wit to go along with drawing skills.
Gotta love those Pashtun. They have a word for one who doesn’t bother to refute it when he’s called a liar, and even seems to enjoy it:
??????
Barry, now that you are a Pashtun expert as well, you understand why what Cecil was saying was so crazy.
Welcome brother.
I’m not your brother, ??????
Wouldn’t that be something …
Violent teabagger goes wild, shoots people, takes hostages. No, wait, never mind.
Violent leftist goes nuts, blows up multiple sites out of anger. No, wait, never mind.

We can play the blame game all day long Tim. Are you in any way in agreement with Rudolph actions or his beliefs?
Man, can’t we all just get along? If I could only have one wish, I would wish to give everyone in the world a great, big hug.
Molten sure does a good job using hot-button issues as a substitute for his lack of talent and creativity.
Seriously, he’s really good at it.
