Six wounded in Baghdad.

[pfitz59]

1. Yeah, but no one died!

FAUX and other channels were orgasming over the fact that no Americans have died in 3 whole days! Wounded is just as bad. Read: "Johnny Got His Gun" by Dalton Trumbo. Real eye-opener.

2. Johnny Got His Gun

OMG! Wonderful book, everyone should read.

[sfecap]

3. One of the best books ever...

Anne Coulter's hero and Ronnie Raygun's buddy Joe McCarthy got Trumbo blacklisted...

[Journeyman]

5. Joe McCarthy had nothing to do with Trumbo or the Hollywood Ten. . .

Their nemesis in the House was J. Parnell Thomas, chairman of the House Un-American Activities Committee. By the time McCarthy made his entrance on the stage, Trumbo had served his time in prison, been released, and was writing screenplays under assumed names to evade the Blacklist.

10. I think Trumbo was dead by then though

But I have heard that Coulter mocked it, you know what the nazis did the same to Remerque's All Quiet on the Western Front.

[Journeyman]

11. Trumbo died in 1976. . .

five years after he produced the film version of Johnny using his own money, and with an unfinished masterpiece, Night of the Aurochs, not quite half finished.

Ever see the British flick "What a Lovely War"?

[Pallas180]

[demnan]
