Elitists, sexist, racist, homophobia in Dr. Seuss' writing.

[ronnykmarshall]

Come now people "Green Eggs and Ham"???? Is there anymore that can be said!!




This picture speaks a thousand words!!

[kick-ass-bob]

1. I got everything but the racist part.

[ronnykmarshall]

2. Well that person in the photo is of color.

And the meal is being denied to him.

They might as well burned a cross!!!

[TheProphetess]

8. Well done!

[redqueen]

3. You, my dear man...

are, as they say, da bomb!

[Fenris]

4. He's talking about converting Jews in "Green Eggs and Ham"

[ronnykmarshall]

10. BINGO!!

Anti-semitic nazi slime!

[lakemonster11]

64. Have you ever seen Ted Geisel's anti-Nazi short film?

It's bizarre to watch.

[asthmaticeog]

5. Don't even get me started on "Hop on Pop."

[Zuni]

50. Pop=American taxpayer

the kids=big government entitlement programs hopping all over pop

[Richardo]

6. Don't even get me started on the NAMBLA-oriented "Hop on Pop"

[Richardo]

12. You win this round, asthmaticeog...

[asthmaticeog]

13. BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA

You'll never be as quick on the NAMBLA-draw as I, worthy opponent!

[ronnykmarshall]

19. The Grinch???

A slap in the face of jews.

You note that the book did not speak of Hanukkah !!

[asthmaticeog]

28. Quite true.

The Christo/Euro-centrism of Seuss is as blatant as can be. Even his "Star Bellied Sneeches," widely misunderstood as an anti-prejudice cautionary tale, is in fact a Rand-inspired tale of class-struggle. Sneeches without Starbellies represent Rand's "parasite class" straw-man, while Sneeches with Starbellies of course represent her "virtuous" elites.

Hey, how'd that story end, again?

[ronnykmarshall]

31. This is how it should read ======

[Sugar Smack]

33. And in The Butter Battle Book, Seuss showed

obvious and shameful preference for those who buttered their bread side up. It wasn't a behavioral lifestyle choice for the ones who buttered their bread side down; it was genetically inherited.

[ronnykmarshall]

34. Which implies that the "left" is wrong.

Those of us that are left handed butter bread down. That was Sesuss' way of promoting his far right wing agenda.

[Zuni]

42. didn't Dr. Suess work for the Heritage Foundation?

[asthmaticeog]

47. What an insidious bastard -

LEMMIE AT HIM!

[TheProphetess]

7. Oh. My. God.

ROFLMAO!!

[terrya]

9. Who knew Dr. Seuss was so filled with hate?

My God, the homophobia alone just comes out at you like a tidal wave.

Sadly, we just didn't see this when we were kids.

But thank you, Ronny, for pointing this tragic aspect of Dr. Seuss.

[Lilyhoney]

11. Are you saying that he was all thees things or

that that was the message in his writing?

[ronnykmarshall]

14. The "Foot" Book !!

Simply a front for some perverted sick foot fetish.

[Sugar Smack]

18. *I'm dying here!*

*HALP!* LOL!LOL!

[ronnykmarshall]

20. Oh my sweet jesus!!

Look at THIS !!!!!!!

[Sugar Smack]

24. "Fo' Shizzle Books"!!!!!!!!

22. Yertle the Turtle: Fascist Propaganda

trade unions bring down sympathetic business man yertle in this allegory

[Sugar Smack]

36. Horton Hears a Who: Neo-con propaganda

[ronnykmarshall]

40. It's about a right wing plot to spy on us.

The "Who" is a reference the "The Who" the band. The Who represent left wing rebellion against the facsist repressive government. Horton is a neo-con spy that wants to crush the will of The People!

Horton is Katherine Harris.

[ronnykmarshall]

41. It's about a right wing plot to spy on us.

The "Who" is a reference the "The Who" the band. The Who represent left wing rebellion against the facsist repressive government. Horton is a neo-con spy that wants to crush the will of The People!

Horton is Katherine Harris.

[Zuni]

43. Horton=Patriotic American

a Who= refers to the communists among us

[Sugar Smack]

45. And this may just be hearsay and rumor-

But I heard that the Republican Party's elephant was modeled after him. Someone correct me if I'm all wrong!

[Lilyhoney]

23. A Seuss quote...

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." ~Dr. Seuss

[ronnykmarshall]

27. Yes .........

but if you play that quote backwards ...... yeah well.

It's a WHOLE different ballgame.

[Sugar Smack]

29. OUTRAGEOUS. Simply outrageous!!

Stark-raving, horribly, INSANELY outrageous!

[davidinalameda]

26. ronnie baby

[Graf Orlok]

You might want to brace yourself before you click on THIS thread.

The horrors!! The horrors !!!

[Graf Orlok]

38. Oh my.

:O

[jus_the_facts]

37. for SHAME!

[northzax]

48. oh, you missed the biggest neo-con propaganda

obviously, the soft hearted liberal moose wants to help everyone, so he lets the freeloading poor people pile on until he can no longer produce anything. Then he sheds the welfare state and sprints to the freedom of free-enterprise. so simple, really.

[ronnykmarshall]

49. and it's very effective.

One can not help but fall in love with the moose.

Perfect ploy to capture the minds of the youth.

[Zuni]

52. The Grinch---tax and spend liberal

the whos---ordinary, religious tax payers

The big tax and spend liberal pagan grinch picks their pockets and prevents them from celebrating religious holidays by taxing the village of whoville into poverty and making them dependent on welfare

[Momgonepostal]

53. I can't believe no one has mentioned this scandalous work:

It's practically a "how to" manual for pedophiles.

"Come here little boy, come feel the wocket in my pocket."

[ronnykmarshall]

57. I hear Michael Jackson likes that book.

[no name no slogan]

58. This is a slap in the face to Irish diaspora

Just look at the depiction of young, Irish Marvin Mooney: a sub-human creature covered with body hair and the ears of a jackass.

He's not even "human" enough to be asked to leave by a person-- no, three inanimate arm-shaped signs are telling him to leave. Just like how my Irish ancestors were forced to leave their treasured homes by famine and an uncaring English crown under desperate circumstances.

Of course, there was no outcry at the time of publishing, as hatred of the Irish is so ingrained in our social fabric. But believe me, if you had changed his name to Marvin K. Goldstein, you would have seen B'nai B'rith on this case faster than you'd see Tom DeLay on a shady campaign contribution.

[Sugar Smack]

59. "I don't care how you go..on a BOAT"?????

How much plainer can you get?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

60. You know, sometimes green eggs and ham ARE just green eggs & ham.

[jmowreader]

62. This is actually a book for the Basic Training set

Every GI knows all about green eggs and ham. Put scrambled eggs in an aluminum mermite at the mess hall, and by the time you get them to the field they will be green.

Green eggs and ham just look fucking disgusting...and, since they're made from powdered eggs, they don't taste much better.

To get the soldiers to eat, they read them "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss, and then they forget to feed them for a day or so. When those fuckin' green eggs and ham hit the troops' plates, you don't hear "I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them, Sergeant Sam-I-Am."

[ZombieNixon]

63. Is that a wocket in your pocket

or are you just happy to see me?

[Redstone]

65. Ronny, I like you, but please give me a fucking break with this.

It's Doctor fucking Seuss, for Christ's sake. I really, REALLY hope you're joking with this post, and I'm just too damn dumb to realize it.

My kids both loved those books, growing up, and I love reading them to kids. Leave the Doctor alone.
