Red Baiting

So, now we find the truth of the Stalin-loving Ed Asner:

McCullough: "If you could portray an historical biography and you had an unlimited budget, unlimited support cast and everything you could ask for, who would it be?"

Asner: "Well, you know something, they've played Hitler, nobody has ever really touched Stalin, it just occurred to me. It's not because I am a liberal or anything like that. Stalin is one big damn mystery, I wonder why nobody has tried it? Many people, you know, speak of the fact that he killed more people than Hitler – why does nobody touch him? It's strange. So, and he was about my size, my height – with a wig I probably could do it."


Interesting that Big Media Glenn used something posted on World Net Daily to let loose a whole heap of red-baiting goodness. True Reynolds has posted a correction, which for some reason he thinks is easier to do on a weblog than...um, on radio show? On a world net daily column? This is left unsaid.

But, it doesn't matter. Six months from now some feces-flinging monkey will be polluting my comments section with claims that Ed Asner worships Stalin. What does that have to do with the Democratic party anyway? Not a clue. Won't matter.
