Can you tell me who Al Jolson was in your own words (no links please)?
830632
Al Jolson was a much beloved Jewish performer in early 20th century America who became very popular as a singer and later an actor, in early talkies. In retrospect he is best known for his "black face" brand of entertainment (masquerading and singing as a black man), which was commonplace in the days of Vaudeville and for several decades preceding it. Jolson was considered a genius artist by his peers (and apparently he agreed with them) and continued to have success as a radio performer until his death.

I believe Mike Jones.  Haggard first denied knowing him, Then 24hrs later he admits to buying meth (then threw it away) and getting a message from a known gay prostitute, to whitch he couldn't remember the hotel that recommended him........Ahah........Please! My three year old nephew can lie better than that! Geeeeeeeeeeesh!

Probably Lyndon Johnson.He also said about men he had control over- "I got his pecker in my pocket". And the ever famous-I don't want to forgive him. I want him to kiss my ass at high noon in Macy's window!

Alex Jones is from where I live, Austin, Texas.  Funny you ask, I was just talking yesterday to someone who used to work with him at a public television station in town.  Basically, this person said that what AJ will do is take a legitimate article from somewhere, quote it and then give his personal "spin" on it. He is somewhat of a kook.  but lots of other people have documented Bush's affiliations with the Bin Ladens.  Think Michael Moore.

David Duke tried, but there was one that was actually endorsed by the Klan and won.  Calvin Cooledge.  They ran him in some souther states as Klan Kalvin Kooledge.  No joke, you can even check it out.  So yeah, America had a Klansman as president...ouch

Memorable Quotes: I learned that when you are willing to make sacrifices for a great cause, you will never be alone, because you will have divine companionship and the support of good people. This same faith and cosmic companionship sustained me after my husband was assassinated, and gave me the strength to make my contribution to carrying forward his unfinished work. \n"I believe all Americans who believe in freedom, tolerance and human rights have a responsibility to oppose bigotry and prejudice based on sexual orientation." \n\n"Segregation was wrong when it was forced by white people, and I believe it is still wrong when it is requested by black people." \n\n"Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul."\n\n"The value of life in our cities has become as cheap as the price of a gun." \n\n"In this country. we vigorously regulate the sale of medicine and severely limit the advertising of cigarettes because of their effect on human health. But we allow virtually anyone in America to buy a gun and virtually everyone in the nation to see graphic violence." \n\n"When I say I was married to the cause, I was married to my husband whom I loved -- I learned to love, it wasn't love at first sight -- but I also became married to the cause. It was my cause, and that's the way I felt about it. So when my husband was no longer there, then I could continue in that cause, and I prayed that God would give me the direction for my life....But then I finally determined that it was the King Center, because Martin's message and his meaning were so powerful....So I felt that my role, then, was to develop an institution, to institutionalize his philosophy, his principles of nonviolence and his methodology of social change, and that's what I have spent my years doing."

I need some more points so will comment on zachs mom's (if that is your real name!) answer.\n\nReal good attempt but I think you got over excited in your rush to answer this question. This resulted in a poorly styled answer with way too many capitals and further mistakes in punctuation.\n\nLee Harvey Oswald (October 18, 1939 – November 24, 1963) was, according to four United States government investigations, responsible for the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy. On November 22, 1963, Oswald was arrested on suspicion of killing President Kennedy and Dallas policeman J. D. Tippit earlier that day. Oswald denied the charges, claiming he was a "patsy". Two days later, Oswald was shot and killed by Jack Ruby on live television while in police custody. Public opinion is still divided regarding the official version of Oswald's culpability in the assassination.\n\nI obtained this information from http://en.wikipedia.org/ for you as you got confused or you don't even know your own history.\n\nYou do redeem yourself a bit by suggesting the questioner should re think his question but even that is poorly written. He should rephrase his question to something like "Do you believe the JKF conspiracy theories (do a web search for info on many of these)? I believe that would have got him a bit of credibility. Your suggestion was frankly naff.\n\nI believe OK is accepted shorthand for okay.\n\nYou think too slow for your typing speed and type to much. I should know all about that last one. Look how much I typed for a measly 2 points.\n\n\n\nP.S. "Och well in fer a penny in fer a pound" as somebody once said. Can I get the 10 points please dngnbrn? My answer is a) What and b) No.\n\nP.P.S. To the Yahoo Answers admin staff. If I get the 10 points  can you double it for me as it's a two part answer?

My issue Dd is, I would like to know who these 35 out of every 100 Americans are. Do these people not live in the same world as the rest of us? I would even argue these are the same sort of people who go and listen to Ted Haggard.

Don't listen to these people...Lincoln was flaming.  We're talking Brokeback gay here.  It's rumored he wrote showtunes while on the toilet and had a beauty salon installed off of the Oval Office.

That's a good question.  I'm answering so I will be able to check back and see what others have to say.  Since I'm here, I might as well throw in my two cents worth.  Some of the first people that come to my mind are all comedians who had great insight into the human condition.  Will Rogers quotes still read like they were written today.  When one considers that at the time of his death he was a star of radio, film, stage and a writer known around the world, that is pretty impressive.  No one has mastered every media like Will either before him or since him, so I'll go with Will Rogers.  Do a search on Will Rogers Quotes and get an insight into a genius yet humble mind.

It was definitely John Dilinger. I did a presentation on it for Biology!

Yeah it would be great to have a site of just a list of his quotes but until that comes we will have to work for them. Heres a couple that I found and like\n\n"He's become the J.Lo of boxing!"- Larry Merchant speaking on Oscar De La Hoya's loss to Shane Mosley, HBO, September 2003\n\n"Marquez may need some surgery on his offense..." Larry Merchant commenting on Raul Marquez\n\nAlso had a local radio football commentator in Pittsburgh, Myron Cope that was great for quotes, after a game the morning show would play some of them the next day. People like that are great for sports :o)
