RIP.. im not all for guns though

what do you know about my life?

i never cared much about him until i saw him in Bowling for Columbine. and no matter what he might have accomplished: his views on weapons made him an idiot in my eyes. i know a lot of you see that differently, but thats my freedom of speech.

may he rest in peace though and not be bothered by all those that were killed by those weapons he defended

Nugent is quite political actually.

You're judgeing Charlton Heston on that piece of propaganda shit? He defended the right to legal gun ownership, high school kids with guns are not legal, who's the idiot? The man spoke out on Civil rights too, he walked with MLK in 63, he's been involved in civil rights ever since. Before you respnd to this, maybe you should read exactly what his views were, because clearly you have no idea what the man was about, or even what the NRA is about!

I had just heard about this on this morning's radio...

He was a great man.

R.I.P.

Some of you may be judging him based solely on an interview that was biased against him, exploited for the end of dramatic effect, and conducted while he was experiencing the onset of Alzheimer's. To those peeps, I offer that you should know better.

To those that might thing he wasn't "great," I humbly offer that you either don't know enough about the man, or don't understand what makes a man "great."

Well said, thank you!

Aw RIP Charlton

fucking idiot - dead at last - Americans should be embarrassed

He had a good run.

A good run indeed.

RIP Omega Man.

Let's not forget Moses (The Ten Commandments ) ... rip

Moore edited that all to hell to try to make Heston look like an idiot. Nice way to treat an old man with the beginning stages of Alzheimer's. The scene would have been better if it ended with Heston chasing Moore off his property with a gun.

Did someone kill him with an illegal assault weapon that the NRA wanted legalized?

That would be poetic justice IMO.

May he rest in peace. :(

Good. One less vote for the empire of evil. And adios to a shitty, over rated ham of an actor and a right wing nut job. Too bad he wasn't shot with one of his own guns.

Anybody who didn't like his acting simply think of the era all his greats came from. He was THE MAN in an era of absolute giants. Nobody filled the epic leader better than Heston. Planet of the Apes was GREAT! Hell even his portrayal of I Am Legend was really good... I loved the bad guys being hippies :)

Forget a few gun related sound bites and look at his defense of the bill of rights. In an era when it wasn't exactly good for your career to support black people he really went out on a limb and was easily the highest profile (white) name even helping MLK and surprisingly never used his famous planet of the apes line on them....

How exactly do you consider someone that marched with Dr. Martin Luther King a right wing nut job? Another clueless individual raised on sound bites!

he was good in waynes world 2

That's such a stupid and incredibly clueless comment, I'm embarrassed for you.

P.S. Welcome to my ignore list so I won't have to waste my time again.

Bowling For Columbine really hurt his rep

you mean there's actually a person in this world that took that seriously?

Yeah, Heston didn't hold a pro-gun rally near Columbine right after the school shooting there, Michael Moore just makes shit up. That video tape of the event was obviously doctored. :helpme:helpme

Although I've never seen eye to eye with his stance on abortion I'd say that your post is excellent and spot-on. Something I had forgotten but remembered it today was that he was also the president of the screen actors guild at one time. An academy award winning actor with a multitude of blockbusters and beloved films under his belt... I'd say he had nothing further to prove to anyone.

One of the more outspoken advocates of civil rights there ever was. Even though I disagree with one or two of his opinions I can still admit the man deserves any and all accolades he has or will recieve.
