RIP Gore Vidal, Truth Teller

On Tuesday, July 31, 2012, the world lost one of its great truth tellers in Mr. Gore Vidal.  Mr. Vidal gets some credit as one of the first to make me question American Imperialism with his book Perpetual War For Perpetual Peace, published shortly after 9/11 when my interest in liberty and history was in its embryonic stages.Much like Ron Paul, Gore Vidal was never afraid to tell the truth particularly when it was unpopular.  He wasn't afraid to attack the fraud that is the myth of Abraham Lincoln, noting that "Nothing that Shakespeare ever invented was to equal Lincoln’s invention of himself".  He wasn't afraid to sympathize on national television with the reasons for the Viet Cong attacking American troops on their soil.  See the clip below where he is attacked and called a "queer" by CIA propagandist William Buckley for this very position in 1968.Hard not to love Vidal's "Pro Crypto Nazi" remark!RIP Gore Vidal: Great American Truth TellerReceive access to ALL of our EXCLUSIVE bonus audio content – including “Conspiracy Corner”, “Degenerate Gamblers” and the “League of Liberty Podcast” by joining the Lions of Liberty Pride and supporting us on Patreon!
