Check out this FReeper reviewer on Amazon.com
After watching Easy Rider for the first time I decided to read some reviews to get some other perspectives. I went to Amazon.com and came across a review by this nut who was talking about how it was a "liberal propaganda" film, etc., etc. Then I saw this guy actually has a few dozen reviews on the site.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A2GOTTK868X1CR/ref=cm_cr_auth/102-3726897-0216955?%5Fencoding=UTF8

They're so extreme as to be nearly surreal but are a fun read (at least to me; maybe I'm just weird.) These are so crazy that I'm pretty sure they're written by someone just messing around, but I dunno... If so, they've got an awful lot of time to spend on the same joke. If not, well, they're just scary...

1. smells like a wingnut alright...
The socialist Franklin Roosevelt was attempting to implement an anti-constitutional socialist agenda on the country. The court attempted to stand up to him, but after going eye-to-eye backed down. The writer doesn't properly deal with events, but what happened was that democracy failed for a time and the court itself was subverted by liberal justices who entrenched themselves for a battle against freedom that has lasted until today.

===============
as Lynn The Dem says - "Rightwingnuts - stupidest MFers in the planet"

2. scary dude
Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 05:31 AM by Zuni
To quote him: :scared:


Where this book and some of its reviewers are wrong is with
regard to illegal drugs and the patriot act. The patriot act
is an example of a good law. Its very simple. Thats why
liberals hate it so much. In the case of illegal drugs, we
need very simple laws. If you are in possession or involved
in it as a business, your guilty and go to jail. No degrees
of guilty or ambiguity.

But beyond just criminal laws, we need to streamline the rest
of the law. The police that protect us have their arms tied
behind their back. We need new laws to stop crime once and
for all. We need reform of Miranda, the exclusionary rule
and entire mess that is wiretap laws. A conversation that
takes place over wires or the air can in no way be considered
private. Its no more private than two neighbors talking
over a back fence to each other. We need to give the police
the same powers over new technology that the policeman walking
a beat down a street had years ago. Just as the policeman
used to walk down the street, watch and listen, we need our
new police to walk down the main streets of the internet and
cellular phones keeping us safe.

3. whoa
His well-researched book shows that the ACLU, NAACP and other
liberal groups are nothing more than fronts for the support of
Islamic terrorism. The liberals give the terrorists their ideas,
then send them out to attack, protect them after and then run
propoganda campaigns in free countries telling us we have no
choice but to surrender to the terrorists demands.

4. This guy is seriously in need of a reality check.
Blaming Liberals for 9/11 shows how ignorant he is.

After all:
1. Reagan funded the Muajadeen in Afghanistan and had the CIA teach them what they needed know.

2. Bush I did nothing to prevent the rise of the Taliban, and basically ignored Afghanistan.

3. The Republicans in Congress during the nineties fought Clinton on the efforts he made to improve airline security. Cannot have those campaign contributers have to spend money to protect themselves now can we?

4. Bush refused to believe that Clinton's Administration could possibly have anything to say about protecting America.

5. Bush hired a team that ignored Richard Clarke and others who were screaming about this nightmare that we have now.

5. I love this guy!
He makes most of the posters on FreeRepublic look good in comparison. He is so whacked beyond belief....

This dude's rantings are hilarity. An undiluted, absolute nutter

You were right to bring this here. I am going to enjoy reading through several pages of reviews he has written.

I think he is a member of the Natural Law Party, a fringe wingnut RW party

9. I want to email this guy and ask him how come he has yet to read
America Alone: The Global Order and the Rise of the Neo-Cons, The Age of Sacred Terror, and many of the other books out there that show just what is actually going on.

6. Hilarity
Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 05:51 AM by Zuni
Nobody will ever know how many lives this idiotic glamorization
of the gutter cost. But in the end, the intent of these people
was so evil that the world they were trying to create destroyed
itself before it could destroy all america.

The happy street-people of the 1970's leading their happy street
life got older and less appealing. And when Ronald Reagan was
elected, they were transformed from happy street people into
the suffering homeless. The liberals took the human wreckage
that their ideology of street life and drugs had created and
then demanded that the government solve the problem by giving
out money. But by that time, drugs and disease had already
claimed most of the liberals who bought into this film's vision.
And those that remained were too few and too discredited to
convince anyone of anything.

Its interesting only as an example of the depths of liberal
propoganda and what the message of the liberals to the country
was. They started in the 1950s with anti-america films, then
moved on to anti-god and anti-marriage films, then drug films
and then reached the end of the line with Midnight Cowboy
where the very notion of working itself is dismissed as
irrelivant. It was a careful plan designed to lead americans
down a road of degenerative thought. It was successful for
a while, but in the end it was defeated.

12. Hmmmm
on his review of Inherit the Wind, it seems that he doesn't realize it's based on the REAL-LIFE Scopes trial, and that much of the dialogue is based on REAL-LIFE transcripts from the trial itself! It's just another village idiot expounding on matters of which he knows not.

I couldn't take the time to read every one of his reviews--not that I would want to, either. A little freeping goes a VERY long way.

13. Yeah...Albert...did you know that John Wayne never served?
Not during WWII when he should have been in the trenches with MY GREAT UNCLES (Grandpa was in the Asian Theatre as a medic)! And my friend Jesse's uncles, and all of the other people I know who are Dems and who had THEIR family members serve in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam and all of our other wars.

7. One Can Feel Albert Lee's Failure In Life In His Writings...
Albert Lee's opinions are not something I agree with but I am sure Bob Boudelang does.

8. A couple of his reviews were very
inflammatory, so I reported one of them to the Amazon "police." I also recommended the liberal reviews on that same one (Savage's book) just to give those reviews a boost. :)

10. drinking the kool aid with albert lee
People don't realize that the reason Iraq didn't use its WMDs
is that war was over so fast. The brilliance of the plan was
that it destroyed Iraq so fast that they only had enough time
to hide the WMDs or move them over the border into Syria and
Iran rather than use them on the troops.

The flaw of Rumsfeld's plan is that it still used way too
many troops. The US could have won with a fraction of the
force deployed. The plan should have been to put the troops
right into Baghdad on the first day and cut off the head of
the monster rather than send columns up to the head through
the body.
