Time for a boycott Ted Turner has crossed the line.
Ted Turner, the billionaire founder of CNN, accuses Israel today of engaging in "terrorism" against the Palestinians, in comments that threaten to lead to a further decline in the news network's already poor relations with the Jewish state.
"Aren't the Israelis and the Palestinians both terrorising each other?" says Turner, who is vice-chairman of AOL Time Warner, which owns CNN, in an exclusive interview with the Guardian."The Palestinians are fighting with human suicide bombers, that's all they have. The Israelis ... they've got one of the most powerful military machines in the world. The Palestinians have nothing. So who are the terrorists? I would make a case that both sides are involved in terrorism."
This is the same man who called the terrorists of 9-11 "brave," then tried to excuse himself by saying that since he owns the Braves, that word is always on the tip of his tongue.
You know he's gone too far when he's too liberal for Jane Fonda to hang out with.
I'll have nothing to do with anything Ted Turner has a hend in, whether it be movies, sports, TV, whatever. Let him sit alone in irrelevance on one of his mega-ranches.
