  • 2) I Am Legend (2007): In arguably one of his greatest dramatic performances, Smith held the screen virtually all by himself for most of this apocalyptic thriller's running time. He plays a military scientist who may or may not be the last man on the planet.  A scary good time at the movies.

On the 1992 LA Riots: “Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks three days after rioting began….What if the checks had never arrived? No doubt the blacks would have fully privatized the welfare state through continued looting.”

On how to shoot and kill blacks and get away with it. “Carjacking. It is the hip-hop thing to do among the urban youth who play unsuspecting whites like pianos…. If you have to use a gun on a youth, you should leave the scene immediately, disposing of the wiped off gun as soon as possible.”

On Haitian immigrants in the 90s: “If there is one thing we don’t need in this country, its more Haitians immigrants [sic] with AIDS.

Praising white supremacist David Duke’s campaign for Louisiana governor: “Duke lost the election, but he scared the blazes out of the Establishment. If the official Republican hadn’t been ordered to drop out, he might have won. Certainly there would have been a run-off.”

Ron Paul is catching hell this week for racist (or at the very least racially insensitive) newsletters that were distributed in his name throughout the 90s. While Paul has repeatedly repudiated the contents of the newsletters, voters and pundits are scrutinizing his role in their publication far more closely now that Paul is the latest GOP frontrunner in Iowa.
