Neither did I, but then again our country hasn't been involved in a war that we needed to fight to since WWII (with the possible exception of Afghanistan, which is an unwinnable war). During one of the darkest hours in the history of the world, your "Great American" stayed on the sidelines while most were chomping at the bit to fight against tyranny. He was a pussy, clear and simple.

we disagree and that is okay :0074

Not really. Ali was taking a stand against the war. Wayne pretended like he wanted to fight and found ways not to fight. I wasn't around then so there might be more to it but that is a big difference.

ali was taking a stand against white people......if you read his quotes he was one of the most appalling racists in history....honestly,he was kkk-level racist....he caught a pass because the vietnam war became unpopular....

you`d have to dig a bit to see his quotes but they`re out there...they`ve just been buried because he was propped up as an anti-war icon by the anti-war movement of the 60`s(which included much of the media)...

it`s not politically correct to point out,but it`s true....in quotes.....

Was he talking about sending minorities off to die for whitey? Like I said I haven't really researched this case, so thanks for bringing it up. I check it out when I have time.
