I always hated that rumor of Walt's supposed antisemitism, and I wish it would die. Walt Disney was NOT
an antisemitic. He even hired Jews to work for his company; most famously, the Sherman brothers who had a very positive attitude towards Walt.

All the man did was join a group that supported his political beliefs (that just so happened to have antisemitic values) alongside the likes of famous icons like John Wayne and Ronald Reagan. However, I never hear accusations of Wayne and Reagan of being anti-semitic. Why does everyone pick on Walt? Because it's just popular to do so.[/quote]

What do you mean by you "never saw this"?

Alright let me see

Richard Dawkins: An evolutionary biologist, a legendary debater and a very smart person. Author of the bestseller The God delusion

Sam Harris: Neuroscientist and philosopher. Author of the bestseller The end of faith. An excellent debater and an expert on morality.

Bill Maher: Commedian and the host of the show Real time with Bill Maher. An active atheist and creator of the documentary Religulous. A smart man with a very good sense of humor.

Barack Obama: Yes he can, if people stop whining and let the man do his damn job.

Christopher Hitchens: The best debater that has ever walked on this planet. This guy deserves a medal. Unfortunately he died of cancer. Author of the bestseller God is not great: How religion poisons everything.

Geert Wilders: A Dutch nationalistic-liberal politician. The only one that can help this country re-organize again. Author of the book Marked for death.

Pim Fortuyn: A Dutch nationalistic-liberal politician. Known for his anti-islam campaigns. Unfortunately he was shot in the head in 2002.

My mom because she understands me.

Totally forgot: Salman Rushdie, the writer or the Satanic verses

Stephen Fry: Very funny, intelligent (which is an understatement, really) and just an all-round awesome person. Fry and Hitchens at the 2009 Intelligence Squared debate was just brilliant to see!

Derren Brown: Immensely entertaining and able to surprise me on almost everything he does. He's also a very humble guy, and I've got so much respect for him after seeing the Russian Roulette thing he did.

Dr. Michio Kaku: What can I say? One of the most interesting and charismatic men I've ever listened to. If you have so much as just a little bit of an interest in science and the future, then you'll want to listen to him.

Yeah, seeing the results of the vote at the end was bloody brilliant! And yet they still tried to defend themselves with the same old, flawed arguments
