Dead Parroters straight. Again. Oops, gotta stop mumbling to myself out
loud.)PSST.....LISTEN UP DEAD PARROTERS. Thomas Hauser wrote a
book titled Brutal Artistry, published in 2002 by Robson Books. Inside the front
cover it reads: "Over the years, Thomas Hauser has earned recognition as
America's finest boxing writer. Now the best of his articles on the sweet
science have been gathered together in one book."Get the drift,
Parroters....the books contains articles Hauser wrote that were published over
the years in newspapers.The book was praised by publications, including:
Ring Magazine - "No one has done it better"; Los Angeles Times - "Fascinating,
very good writing"; Washington Post - "Brilliantly crafted"; Newsweek -
"Thought-provoking and engaging."And this is what Hauser wrote about Ali
renouncing previously held views:"Ali's views on religion have changed
considerably since he was young. IN 1984, HE PUBLICLY REPUDIATED THE SEPARATIST
DOCTRINE OF NATION OF ISLAM SPOKESMAN LOUIS FARRAKHAN, DECLARING, "WHAT HE
TEACHES IS NOT AT ALL WHAT WE BELIEVE IN. HE REPRESENTS THE TIME OF OUR STRUGGLE
IN THE DARK AND A TIME OF CONFUSION IN US, AND WE DON'T WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED
WITH THAT AT ALL." Later, Ali acknowledged, "WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I FOLLOWED A
TEACHING THAT DISRESPECTED OTHER PEOPLE AND SAID THAT WHITE PEOPLE WERE
'DEVILS'. I WAS WRONG. COLOUR DOESN'T MAKE A MAN A DEVIL. IT'S THE HEART AND
SOUL AND MIND THAT COUNT.'Dead Parroters: it couldn't be clearer. If you
don't understand that, then words have lost all meaning.Angelo - if you
go to a site called The Smokin' Gun, you can see a mug shot of Quackin' Joe
Frazier when he was arrested by police earlier this year for bashing his
girlfriend. The site has photos of Tyson, too. I couldn't find one of Ali there.

good Ali said those positive things in 1984 as if he had said them in 1964, he
may have wound up dead at the hands of NOI assasins just like his buddy Malcolm
X.Those extremists didn't like desention in their ranks.|
|7/21/05 03:55:29 AM|Noam|same||same||||10|Kent, I agree. But it wasn't a Black
Muslim who shot JFK. Same with Bobbie Kennedy. And Lincoln. Everyone has its
ratbags, for whatver dumb reasons. Are you going to tell me that a young Cassius
Clay wasn't exposed to racism ? Hey, what he said wasn't right, but none of us
lived in his shoes. The important thing is what Ali's like morally
today. What's Quackin' Joe Frazier like now ? He didn't look too good in that
mug shot I saw taken earlier this year. Hey Joe, LEAVE THE GIRL ALONE ! |

girlfriend it means she wasn't a big puncher! Otherwise he would have ducked
her...Just joking! :-)|
|7/21/05 06:40:18 AM|Massimo |Roma||4||||10|I meant "only joking". Or not maybe
"just joking", I'm not sure, sometimes I get "just" and "only" mixed up!|

Forests - even Joe Frazier (whom this NOI discussion was never about) I am glad
you are here to protect us from them Noam. They're probably all White Devils
anyway! Even Joe.But you haven't answered, among others, my question
re: selective free speech, Noam. Do you feel a sense of accompishment
in that you apparently chased a regular poster away from the site? Why
not try making points without resorting to epithets, but rather by relying on
facts and logical inferences drawn from them?As Fandom (you know, AKA
Fan, AKA Forest, AKA The Eggman, AKA The Walrus) has agreed (with himself!),
let's move on and stop the the name calling if we happen to disagree with
someone. Kent, I am not the guy you were thinking of. I think. But
check with Noam just in case. You never know.|

haven't seen enough of his fights to make a really accurate judgement though. I
