Bobby Fischer = AntiAmerican?

In his interview on September 11 with Radio Bombo in Baguio City, Mr Fischer said: "This is all wonderful news. It is time to finish off the US once and for all.

"I was happy and could not believe what was happening. All the crimes the US has committed in the world. This just shows, what goes around comes around, even to the US.

"I applaud the act. The US and Israel have been slaughtering the Palestinians for years. Now it is coming back at the US."


WTH? Is this guy living in our country? I wonder how legit this story is because those are some pretty strong statements above.
 
in the link it says he lives in Japan or somthing like that

but i'll add, so?
bobby fischer, they guy who disappeared for like 20 some years and doesn't live in our country anymore doesn't like us, oh no ! i'm shakin... come on, does it really matter what he thinks?
 
According to the link, he's a well known anti-semite, so this isn't surprising. Also says he lives in Hungary and Japan.
 
I´m not sure, but I think I remember that Bobby Fiscer had some major major problems with the US government many years ago and he might be very pissed still.
 
"WTH? Is this guy living in our country?"
-

uhh according to the article he isn't. I find it kinda ammusing that Jewish controlled Hollywood made a movie about this guy about 10 years ago and he was the "hero" of the movie.
 
If they were making it up, its brilliant, because either A: everyone will eat it up, or B: Bobby Fischer will break his silence and theres another news story.
 
Even if you hate the United States and all of our foreign policy, I don't see how you can "applaud" the mass murder of thousands of innocent civilians. It's good for his sake that he doesn't live in our borders.

Is the Telegraph a fairly reputable news source?
 


<< uhh according to the article he isn't. I find it kinda ammusing that Jewish controlled Hollywood made a movie about this guy about 10 years ago and he was the "hero" of

uhhhh...You're an idiot.

First of all, Hollywood isn't Jewish controlled you dimwit.

Secondly, if the movie you're referring to is Searching for Bobby Fischer, the movie wasn't about Bobby Fischer but about another chess prodigy.
 
well, he is allowed to an opinion... and hes not being a hipocrit by living here... so... i dunno.. im not agreeing with him...
 
and the movie may not have been about Fischer directly, but its obvious that the movie was about fischer but with different names, like how Citizen Kane didn't have the same name as William Randalph Hearst, but clearly that's who the movie was about.
 
Now you're a total idiot.

Have you even seen the movie?!?

The movie is about Josh Waitzkin, a real life child prodigy. The only thing it has to do with Bobby Fischer is that Bobby Fischer is a chess prodigy and did very well when he was very young like Josh Waitzkin.
 
Notify the mods as it doesn't change the fact that you're a tool.

Edit: And I'm Jewish and your anti-semite attitude attacks me.
 
who's being anti semite? saying the Jews control hollywood isn't being anti-semite. And if you think it is, then you need a reality check.
 


<< who's being anti semite? saying the Jews control hollywood isn't being anti-semite. And if you think it is, then you need a reality check. >>



The text in and of itself isn't, but the tone you give it does. Why is it even necessary to assume that Hollywood is "Jew controlled" if it's not a problem?
 


<< Searching for Bobby Fisher is about Josh Waitskin ... >>



your right. if you've ever watched the movie it is titled that because Josh wants to be as good as Bobby Fisher....
 
Bobby Fischer is an interesting man. A cult hero, in fact.

The problems he had with the government are true. They arose because he went to Yugoslavia without permission (was denied a visa because of UN sanctions against Yugoslavia) to play in a rematch against Boris Spassky.

From bobbyfischer.com:

"On September 1, 1992, Bobby Fischer came out of his 20 year retirement and gave a press conference in Yugoslavia. He pulled out an order from the U.S. Treasury Department warning him that he would be violating U.N. sanctions if he played chess in Yugoslavia. He spit on the order and now faces 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if he returns to the U.S. In addition, he must forfeit his $3.65 million to the U.S. Treasury and forefeit 10% of any match royalties earned. On September 30, Bobby Fischer began his re-match with Boris Spassky in Sveti Stefan, Yugoslavia. The match was organized by banker Jedzimir Vasiljevic. On November 11, Fischer won the match with 10 wins, 5 losses, and 15 draws. He received $3.65 million for his winnings and Spassky received $1.5 million."

One of the things which made Fischer a cult hero (aside from beating Spassky and the Russian computers in 1972) was the fact that he refused to defend his title. All the greats of the period (Karpov, Kasparov) are doomed to forever sit at the chess table awaiting his return. One of the great pseudo-problems of the 20th century. Who would have won?

Seems the American champions turn out to be eccentric indeed. Paul Morphy, the other American who became world champion, went nuts when he returned from Europe after beating the European champions of the era.

If Fischer comes back to the US, there would probably be legal proceedings. I'm sure he could beat them. He's staying abroad to protect his wealth. I seriously doubt he stated those remarks as he has been a recluse all of these years.
 
Mr Fischer is already wanted for questioning by the FBI for breaking UN sanctions by taking part in a chess match in Serbia against Boris Spassky in 1992 - his first for 20 years.

For playing a chess match? What is this, fascism?
