Wee Willie Pitt has been enshrined at "Americans Who Tell The Truth" website

[Ralph Wiggum]

 

William Rivers Pitt is a teacher, writer and political activist who says he will fight injustice until “the day comes when we can once again stand in awe and pride before our flag, our government and our nation.”

Pitt went from being a high school English teacher to exposing the lies and manipulations of government in his book, War on Iraq: What Team Bush Doesn’t Want You to Know. In it, Pitt reveals how false information led to the U.S. starting the second Iraq War during the presidency of George W. Bush.

Pitt now works as an editor and columnist at the alternative, online news organization truthout.com and has written two other books: The Greatest Sedition is Silence and House of Ill Repute: Reflections on War, Lies, and America’s Ravaged Reputation.

His political work includes being press secretary for Congressman Dennis Kucinich’s 2004 presidential campaign, as well as an analyst for the Institute for Public Accuracy.

In his writings and public talks, Pitt documents collusion among government officials, military leaders and companies that make weapons to keep the U.S. in a perpetual state of war. He faults mainstream media for not adequately investigating the truth, and encourages ordinary citizens to find out for themselves what their government is doing.

 â€œI’m a school teacher. I just started doing this because somebody had to do it. If I can do it, you can do it,” says Pitt.

Pitt was born on Nov. 9, 1971, in Washington D.C., but grew up in Alabama and Massachusetts. He graduated from Holy Cross College in Worcester, Mass., and taught high school until 2003, when he became a fulltime political activist and writer.

“I am one of those fools who think that the idea of America is one of the last, best hopes for humankind. When used properly, it can work wonders. The idea itself is in mortal peril…if you murder the idea, you have murdered America itself,” says Pitt, adding, “People of good conscience cannot surrender.”

Nothing about his rampant alcoholism, befriending a pedophile, and getting hit by a brick.

Truth, I don't think that word means what they think it does.

There's so much bovine excrement in this statement, Pitt better wipe twice.  There is nothing in the liberal ideology that celebrates America.

If anyone needed any further proof that Libtards...especially the ones at DU...live in another universe...here ya go.

I noticed that it has 2 "likes" on facebook--one from Pitt himself and the other from mom Raven, most likely.

Uh, no.

The hopelessly unemployable alcoholic has not been inside a school since narrowly avoiding prison for the alleged abuse of junior-high schoolgirls.

Proving he's a DUmmy, in the midst of this crisis he went to the lunatics at the DUmp for advice, behind a thinly-disguised sockpuppet:

Ironically (or maybe logically), his co-author on a vanity-published anti-Bush screed was the convicted pedophile Scott Ritter.

Thank you; people need reminded of the truth more often.

Poor little Willie. If only he would have stopped at the fifth word he really could lay claim to telling the truth.

.....says Pitt, adding, “People of good conscience cannot surrender.”

<<<has no plans of surrendering.

[RobJohnson]

At least he admits he is a fool.

That's appalling.  

Truthfully, though I've considered Pitt to be perhaps a little more annoying than the average DUer over the years, I wasn't aware of this post of his from years ago.

There's no doubt its him; the rambling, pompous verbal diarrhea is unmistakable.  No wonder he felt such kinship with Scott Ridder.  They probably cruised playgrounds together with shopping bags full of My Little Pony swag to give away, looking for dates.

What a loser.

You know, in the south we drink beer and tell lies for fun and people are smart enough to not take it seriously......Yankee DUmmies however..........

[FlaGator]

Truth, I don't think that word means what they think it does.

They are of the 'truth is relative' crowd so they may know what the word means they just don't know what truth is.
