Don King is throwing punches at Kerry too

[Sweetpea]

Colorful US boxing promoter Don King has thrown himself into the political arena by lending his voice to a Republican Internet "game" attacking Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, the Republican National Committee announced.

Oh No!!!! Now we are going to lose a lot of votes. I am so afraid...so afraid so afraid.....

:crazy:

[Thrill]

1. No one likes him

He's a fool

[mobuto]

2. Not all that much of a difference

between throwing fights and throwing elections.

Except you can make more money throwing an election.

3. Wow, a murderer doesn't like our guy, what a tragedy...

:cry:

4. if he just hadn't stuck his finger in that electrical socket . . .

he might still be capable of critical thinking . . . and getting decent haircuts . . .

5. George Bush isn't the only corrupt politician Don King supports

And Don King, btw, most definitely supports Bush and has proclaimed his support at Bush fundraisers.

He also supports the strogman of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez.

And no, there is no contradiction there at all.

9. If you support free-trade or fair-trade over bilateral trade you should

support Chavez, too. Leaders like Chavez, who try to build up the salaries and lifestyles of their nation's citizens will be required to help stop the race to the bottom and keep American salaries and benefits at a decent level.

6. Great news!

Maybe OJ will be next.

[rumguy]

7. he's a damn greedy bastard

no one likes him

[TSIAS]

8. I don't like King

Like a lot of promoters, I think he might be a crook.

Incidentally, King also gave $2000 to Carol Moseley Braun. Last cycle, he gave to Trent Lott and Harry Reid. In what might be a coincidence, the states of Mississippi and Nevada hold a lot of King fight cards.

10. LOL

King is an idiot.

[mobuto]

11. An idiot?

I should be so stupid. No, King is a crook and a scumbag, but he's very smart.

[sandnsea]

12. Another crooked, lying...

How many more crooks and liars have to rally around George Bush before America gets it? The Bushies can't even get the boxing world right! Nobody likes Don King!

[mac1000a]

13. Maybe King can get Mike Tyson to

do a commercial for Bush. Convicted rapists and ear-biters for Bush! It would only help our side. Bush sure does attract the slime don't he?

[mobuto]

14. LOL

When R. Kelly's pro-Bush videos start circulating on the internet, that's when we're in real trouble.

[sablescort]

15. Oh no no

It's like crooks for crooks.

King should stay in the boxing ring then.

[zulchzulu]

16. Don King? Bwahahahaha!

Nice job on making Don an Amos and Andy type character...

[Democat]

17. Republican family values - Don King is a murderer!

A killer and corrupt boxing promoter helps the GOP - is anyone surprised?

[Democat]

18. Here is a little on Don King's criminal history

In Cleveland, Ohio in 1954, King shot and killed a man attempting to rob one of his gambling houses; the death was ruled a "justifiable homicide". King served time for killing a man in 1966 who allegedly owed him money, whom he beat to death. Although convicted of second degree murder, the judge reduced the conviction to nonnegligent manslaughter. King has been investigated for possible connections with organized crime. During a 1992 Senate investigation King took the Fifth Amendment when questioned about his connection to mobster John Gotti.
