The face of Larry Northern, the cross-crusher
Edited on Tue Aug-16-05 01:25 PM by murdoch
This picture was in this article:

I should say that on another but related topic, I live in "blue" New York City, and there are Larry Northern types here as well. Archie Bunker was not a myth, in fact Archie Bunker was mild compared to some people I've known. I think the right-wing wants to divide America into the "blue" and the "red", I think it benefits them.

There is a blue and a red divide, but not the one mentioned so much through the corporate media. CNN's national exit polls in 2004

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/US/P/00/epolls.0.html

show that voters who "earned" $200k or more favored Bush 63%-35%. Of course, most of those $200k+ people didn't earn their money in a true sense by wages and salary, but by parasitism like interest, rent and especially profit. Then there's the $150-200k crowd, for Bush by 58%-42%. $100-$150K, Bush 57%-42%. These are the "red" income brackets - the REAL red/blue split.

Then we go into the blue income brackets Under $15k income is 63% Kerry, 36% Bush. $15-30k is 57% Kerry, 42% Bush. At the $30-50k range, Bush and Kerry are running neck and neck.

I live in a so-called "blue state" and have a "blue income", and know lots of people in so-called "red states" who have "blue incomes" as well and they're great people. So I'm not going to call this guy a hick, or a redneck or whatever and play into the whole trap set for us. I'll cast my lot with the miners in West Virginia and the Teamsters in Missouri any day of the week. This guy has a "red income" mentality no matter what state he's from. And as I said before, most of the $200k+ people didn't even earn their money anyhow, they probably inherited the divine right to profit off others labor like Paris Hilton.

6. I'm an angry white man too
But I'm an angry white worker mad at the owners of the oil companies and military contractors who got us into this war, and who screw around with the workers in this country.

I was just in Montreal, Quebec, and the workers up there know how to do things. The workers in the US can learn a lot about how the workers in Quebec (or even Canada in general) organize themselves.

Looks like he traded in his white sheet on an orange prison jumpsuit.

8. Well, the folks with "red" income are profiting off of Asian Labor now
Communist Chinese labor - I love the whole Animal Farm mentality. Long live the worker's paradise.

11. I'll be writing Mr. Northern a letter, snail-mail style.
It'll be an old-school, new-asshole-ripping, aren't-you-ashamed letter from one Texan to another. I plan to include relevant bible verses and use no profanity, just to make things more fun.

His address (both work and home) is easy to find--y'all should join me.

18. Isn't it ironic that the right ...
... wants to protect the flag from being burned, but allows the descration of crosses, the symbol of their (alleged) faith?

Guess we don't have to wonder which is more important to them.

21. Larry mowed down the flags
that were attached to the crosses.

Grinding flags into the dirt isn't desecration?

26. Because like it or not, such information could incite someone
to more easily retaliate against this man, remember one thing, I am sure he has family, the family should not always be seen as guilty strictly because of forced assocation..

One should be more careful in this day and age, tempers are high and the cowards are growing in numbers, cowards you know, who do things in the dead of night so as not to get caught....

It's wise to have such a rule on this message board, I have seen some on others openly give such information and bad things have happened, I am sure you have no wish feel any responsibility if the family of this man might mistakenly be forced to pay for a mistake that they had no part in.
