R.I.P. Charlton Heston
I was sad to hear of Charlton Heston’s passing this weekend. From his memorable roles in Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments, El Cid, Soylent Green, and Planet Of The Apes, to his remarkable basso profundo voice, to his time as president of the NRA (1998 – 2003), I’ve always held a deep admiration for the man. He famously said that the only way his gun would be taken away is “from my cold, dead hands.”
And although the extreme Left still can’t disarm him, nor tolerate even the idea of a well-spoken and responsible gun owner, they’re wasting no time in proverbially dancing on his grave. Looks like their derangement syndrome isn’t confined to President Bush. (h/t: Jawa Report)
“Quick, someone pry out his gun!”“Is he soylent green yet??”
“If Heston lived another 20 years would the world be a better place? no. I think not. Its just that simple. So break out the good wine. Drink to vanquished enemies.”
“Their brain-eroding diseases coincided with their rightwing turns.” (referencing Heston and Reagan)
“he was a real PRICK alright, just like his ‘hero’ ray-gun…”
“1 less right wingnut to worry about”
“I’ll see you at Nancy Reagan’s funeral. I will be the guy with the air horn and a big ol’ grin.”
“Rest in Hell is where I am coming from.”
“I had no empathy for the aging Nazis, either.”
“The harm he did in encouraging our gun culture far outweighs and ‘good’ he did with his acting.”
“He was a mediocre actor who believed he was Moses.”
“he was scum”
“If ‘liberal’ means…feeling any sense of loss that some sorry piece of shithumanity such as C Heston has checked out?…Then sign me out. I am glad that he is no longer breathing the same air that you and I share.”
Damn dirty apes.
