http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/28/one-percent-supporter-anyone-great_n_1117133.html Wow,I wonder if this clown ever thinks about the 1% of Americans who serve in our military, protecting this douche-bag`s way of life? They are part of the 99.

99% of Americans (with a brain) are tired of funding the "douche-bag" O'Failure's "way of life". [:D]

100% of this board wonders whether O59 is ever going to post anything of substance.

I stopped "wondering" after his repeated racist-rants, and am now completely at peace in knowing he is an empty cup that shall never runnith over with knowledge -- it's very ZEN of me, don't you think?!!

FR: It'll be news to Thomas Pynchon, William Burroughs and Bob Dylan that their work is worthless because they weren't born into the plutocracy...

i mean yeah big papa pynchon wasn't born into the billionaire boys' club but pynchon is a really weird choice since he is certainly part of the american ancien regime' and the family name has been prominent since the colonial days quote: ORIGINAL: Moonhead FR: It'll be news to Thomas Pynchon, William Burroughs and Bob Dylan that their work is worthless because they weren't born into the plutocracy...

Gates and Pynchon both come from fairly affluent backgrounds, but neither of them was even close to being born into the 1%. In both cases their parents weren't anywhere near loaded enough to qualify.

it is too trivial a point to argue, but they are both terrible examples. the pynchon family has been among the leading american families since the late 16th century. tommy boy was born into the american aristocracy, bad teeth and all. as for daddy gates, he founded the law firm of preston gates and ellis, a top 100 law and lobbying firm and one of the two most prominent firms in seattle. i don't have access to tax returns or the paperwork on bill gates' trust fund, but i'd be surprised if he was NOT born into the upper 1%. they are both very weak examples of people who became successful despite not coming from privileged backgrounds. quote: ORIGINAL: Moonhead Gates and Pynchon both come from fairly affluent backgrounds, but neither of them was even close to being born into the 1%.

Fine. Have Larry Ellis and Ernest Hemmingway instead, then.

Top 1% earn no less than $380,000 a year. Sports has many who have come from the 99%. Henry Ford came from some humble beginnings. Thomas Adams, who was considered the founder of chewing gum. Sam Walton... again, humble beginnings. Dad was a farmer.

that works. was that so difficult? quote: ORIGINAL: Moonhead Fine. Have Larry Ellis and Ernest Hemmingway instead, then.

You could name names all day: Ambrose Bierce, Jean Toomer, Jack kerouac, Chuck Berry, F Scott Fitzgerald, and Andrew Wyeth all spring to mind as well. Who do the 1% have, on the other hand? Paris Hilton and Truman Capote. Bleah.

The man was insulting and intended to be. He possibly never thought his words would go viral. Stupidity comes in many forms, he is but another.
