Is this really Hunter S. Thompson

[seeker4ever]

Got this forwarded to me... I find it suspect, like those George Carlin right wing rants. Anyone know if it's for real?
Thanks


by Hunter S. Thompson, presumably between 11/04 and 2/19/05



"We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world--a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us...No redeeming social value. Just whores. Get out of our way, or we'll kill you.



Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads? Who among us can be happy and proud of having this innocent blood on our hands? Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid rich kids like George Bush?



They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to kill gooks. They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character. They are the racists and hate mongers among us--they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis.



And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck them."

Maybe try Googling key phrases and seeing if you can find the original article.

12. Thanks!

The links didn't work for me, but I found the articles. I was very upset all day yesterday after I saw the news on the ticker at work in the morning. I found myself angry at what's happened to this country. It seems everything sacred (to me, anyway) is being ripped away and replaced with everything the facist fucks deem 'sacred'. Even HST. I know that's irrational, but that's how I feel about his death. It was a nasty blow. God, I'll miss him.

There was no one to share my grief with, since no one at work seemed to know who HST is (except for the characterization in F&L played by Johnny Depp). Not even my sister knew who he was. :(

15. Apparently so. Thanks guys,,,

Excerpt from the Denver article:

He once suggested former President Bush should be brutally stomped by voters. He called former Vice President Hubert Humphrey "a hopelessly dishonest old hack," compared the late Sen. Edmund Muskie of Maine to a "vicious 200-pound river rat" and frequently dismissed former President Clinton as a white-trash hillbilly.

In one of his more recent books, "Kingdom of Fear," he described the members of the current Bush administration: "They are the racists and hate mongers among us -- they are the Ku Klux Klan." And those were his more polite terms for them.
