Most disgusting thing ever by Ralph Reed
"On April 14, 1983, Reed wrote a column for The Red and Black student newspaper attacking the late Mohandas K. Gandhi of India. Entitled "Gandhi: Ninny of the 20th Century," Reed denounced the 1983 motion picture Gandhi for its favorable treatment of the life of the pacifist leader of the Indian independence movement.

The worst part, worse than writing a paper calling Gandi the "Ninny of the 20th Century" was that Reed had plagiarized a commentary article by film reviewer Richard Grenier in writing the piece."

1. I love, absolutely love, seeing old Ralphie Boy get what he deserves.
Well, maybe not all that he deserves but since I believe in an afterlife, it's a'comin.

6. My father would have called him a dubber.
It was about as low as a person could get in our family. You sure would never be seen with some who had got that name.

5. Ralphie is a world-class, a-one, top-drawer
asshole. I haven't read the column, but the fact that Gandhi wasn't a bible-thumping, fundamentalist Christian fascist probably had a lot to do with Reed's views.

BTW, when do you think Reed's going to get indicted because of his ties to Abramoff? I couldn't think of a worthier candidate for a pumpkin suit than this asshole.

10. Yep, when Peter whacked off that centurion's ear, Jesus took his sword...
and whacked off the other ear before chopping off his head.

And he also said, "If a man slaps you on the cheek, you must whack him on both cheeks with the biggest or sharpest thing in your weapon bag. No turning the other cheek for my followers."

And don't forget, from the Beatitudes, "Blessed are the warmongers for they shall be called the children of God."

All quotes from the Gospel of Ralph.
