I always imagined Lovecraft was creepy as fuck in person.  I mean, the guy chose to live with Aunts Patricia and Selma *shudder*.

He was probably like a 20th century Lettow.

Probably a lot like Stephen King.

I saw King in person once, at the McDonalds drive thru of all places, when he was in a Mercedes convertible right behind me.

Lettow is weird, but he's not creepy.  I know a bit more about him than his Languish persona (i.e. Facebook details, etc.)

Hmmm... I read King's autobiography, wherein he claims he's quite insane and would himself be a serial killer if he hadn't discovered creative writing as an outlet.  He doesn't have a creepy vibe to me when I've seen him interviewed, just an old nerd vibe.

Hansie makes me laugh.  I bet he also thinks the doctor killer in Kansas is part of Obama's staff.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

QuoteWright says 'Jews' keeping him from Obama
President's former pastor hasn't spoken to Obama since he inauguration

updated 25 minutes ago

HAMPTON, Virginia - President Barack Obama's controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, is blaming "them Jews" for keeping him from speaking to the president.

Wright, the former pastor of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ, said he hasn't spoken to Obama since he became president.

"Them Jews ain't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office," Wright told the Daily Press of Newport News following a Tuesday night sermon at the 95th annual Hampton University Ministers' Conference.

"They will not let him to talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is. ... I said from the beginning: He's a politician; I'm a pastor. He's got to do what politicians do."

Obama was a longtime member of the church but resigned from it and cut ties with Wright after videos surfaced during the presidential campaign showing Wright's sometimes provocative sermons. Wright's incendiary comment included shouting "God damn America" and accusing the government of creating AIDS.

In the interview Tuesday, Wright also criticized Obama for not sending a U.S. delegation to the World Conference on Racism held recently in Geneva, Switzerland, saying Obama chose not to for fear of offending Jews and Israel.

"Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza. Ethnic cleansing (by) the Zionist is a sin and a crime against humanity, and they don't want Barack talking like that because that's anti-Israel," Wright said.

The White House declined to comment to the Associated Press on Thursday on Wright's remarks. A phone message left by the AP at Wright's home wasn't immediately returned.

Shit, all you have to do is look at a picture of the guy to know he was creepy as fuck.  :lol:

Though apparently in person he was the perfect gentleman.

I guess that makes Wright a right-wing extremist.

He did work pretty hard to make sure Obama would not get elected...

Yeah, holocaust denial and Jew hate are left wing hallmarks. :P
They certainly can be.  Anti-semitism isn't something that sticks to one side or the other of the political spectrum.

Quote from: jimmy olsen on June 11, 2009, 05:35:45 PMGiven Lovecraft's racism, they're two great tastes that go together!
:huh: Dude, just because he named the cat in 'The Rats in the Walls' Nigger and referred to Asians as evil degenerates doesn't make him any more racist than basically everyone else when he was writing, given the fact that this was the 1920s and 1930s and Germany had, you know, the fucking Nazis at that time, not to mention the South was still segregated.  :rolleyes:
A good point.  At the time, racism was still valid.  Actually, it's still valid and valuable today, but self-hatred hadn't destroyed Western civilization yet.

That's true.  However, the two kinds of anti-Semites act out differently.  Leftist anti-Semites throw themselves under the bulldozer driven by Jews, while rightist anti-Semites steal one and run over the Jews with it.
