Have you all seen this: I doubt Robin Williams actually said all this!
The Plan!


Robin Williams, wearing a shirt that says "I love New York" in Arabic.


You gotta love Robin Williams......
Even if he's nuts! Leave it to Robin
Williams to come up with the perfect
Plan. What we need now is for our
UN Ambassador to stand up and
Repeat this message.

Robin Williams's plan...(Hard to
Argue with this logic!)

"I see a lot of people yelling for peace,
But I have not heard of a plan for
Peace. So, here's one plan.

1) "The US will apologize to the world for our 'interference' in their affairs, past & present. You know: Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those 'good ole boys; we will never 'interfere' again.

2) "We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea, the Middle East, and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.

3) "All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days, the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of who or where they are. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.

4) "All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.

5) "No foreign 'students' over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a D, and it's back home, baby.

6) "The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy-wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy, but will require temporary drilling for oil in the Alaska wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while .

7) "Offer Saudi Arabia and! other oil-producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don 't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)

8) "If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not 'interfere.' They can pray to Allah, or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement, or whatever they need. Besides, most of what we give them is stolen or given
To the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything

9) "Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair-weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.

10) "All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us 'Ugly Americans' any longer. The language we speak is ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE."
"Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?"

"The Statue of Liberty is no longer
Saying, 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat, and she's yelling, 'You want a piece of me?' "

If you agree with the above, forward
It to friends...If not, and I would be amazed, DELETE it!!

4. Hmmm.... according to Fundrace...
Robin Williams, self-employed actor, gave to Howard Dean.

Also, it's not very funny. Robin Williams is actually kind of funny...

6. Snopes prove it... buit even without Snopes, knowing that RW is a
hard-core liberal, I would never believe he said any of that.

7. #7 defies all logic
I know it's not true - I've seen folks post it on DU at least half a dozen times in the past 2 years - however, if the US told the Saudis that we'll give them $10 a barrell or else, they would say, see ya later, saynora, zai jian, adios, adieu, etc... they'd just sell it to China, India, Japan, Europe, etc. who would mark it up and sell it back to us.

11. That doesn't even sound like Robin Williams
I didn't need Scoops to tell me that. It's too right wingy sounding.

14. I remember this from a few years back.
It was debunked then, and I see some have posted snopes to debunk again.

Just another right-wing spam that was falsely attributed to Robin Williams. Someone has dusted it off to recycle it for those who didn't "get" it the first cycle, I guess.

15. I can almost see Robin Williams saying that bit about
Edited on Sun Feb-05-06 02:16 PM by TlalocW
The Statue of Liberty with a baseball bat, but more as an example of the American mood after 9/11 than how he felt politically.

On edit: I go to the Snopes article after reading this and find out I'm right about Robin saying that. Damn, I know my comedians.

16. I have a theory on why right-wing wackos do this.
This is obviously the work of a Rush/Hannity listener who thinks that if he/she attributes these kinds of opinions to people who are known to be left-leaning (they target George Carlin, too) it will 'win over' or brainwash Dems and liberals.
