Mark Cuban To Me, "Are You A Communist?"
Is Mark Cuban coming unglued? Is the stress from reactions to his financial backing of the 9/11 conspiracy theory movie "Loose Change" getting to him? In response to a comment I posted on his blog I received an email from Mark;
"In this country we let people make up their own minds. In china and
russia they tell you what to think
Are you a communist ? Because you certainly seem to be like them and
have an interest in telliong people what they can think, say and do ?
In a democracy that shouldn't happen.
Its unfortunate some in the media like taking on the role of mao and
stalin"
My comment (since removed {as predicted}) basically mimicked my post from a few days ago where I asked Mark why he threw in with the Hollywood crowd on this project and if he worried what this could do to his reputation.
The email exchange continued when I suggested the film serves to embolden the enemy. Mark replies;
"Embolden the enemy ?
Do you think the new offer in mosques is 70 virgins and a new dvd.
Get real."
Stubborn, intransigent, doesn't get it or maybe he's consciously entering a new phase in his life. Maybe the sedate down home lifestyle of Dallas is no longer enough. The Hollywood parties are more alluring than the average Texas BBQ (to some) and L.A. is definitely more exciting.
Maybe he thinks ingratiating himself to that crowd gets him an Al Gore moment at the Oscars? It won't happen, only the extreme fringe buy the idea of the government somehow orchestrated Sept.11.
Mark's moment of clarity will come the day he is invited to the Sheen family complex. He'll be sitting poolside with Marty and Charlie and as the two are yammering on and on how the U.S. is always on the wrong side and how forward thinking the Venezuelan dictator is it will hit him.

I love it. This banter is great. Keep us informed of any other communications between the two of you. I side with you Mike
Thanks, I think maybe he took a moment and reflected at how backing such an idiotic project will look on his life's resume. It looks like the next mistake he may make is buying the Cubs.
Talk about stepping onto slippery ice!
