It's complicated. <br /><br />Bowie's "Thin White Duke" character made some nasty pronouncements about race and immigration, and was once "caught" with fascist literature. He (or rather the TWD) gave the Nazi salute a time or two in public, and insisted that Great Britain was ready for a fascist leader.<br /><br />There's more, but you get the idea. The Thin White Duke said a lot that would be appealing to Freepers, but he was a character/caricature that took a great toll on Bowie mentally and physically.<br /><br />The TWD was fueled by tons of drugs - ultimately impossible to sustain. <br /><br />All of that should clue you in to what being a horrible assh*le does to the mind, body, and soul of a person.

It's hilarious when they try to claim a celebrity as their own. It's kind of sad since there are basically zero iconic celebrities who were right wing.

Geez, he was almost 70. How long was he supposed to live? <br /><br />But you're right -- most of the Freepers were surprisingly positive and respectful about his passing.anonymousBnoreply@blogger.com
