There, I said it. It needed to be said. Bruce Lee is all that \*and \*a bag of potato chips. Chuck Norris wouldn’t even exist if it wasn’t for Bruce Lee. ---

He always speaks well of _you_. ---

Well, in all fairness Chuck would probably still exist. He’d exist as the semi-retired owner of a chain of karate studios, rather than an over-rated action star, but he’d probably still exist. ---

Do you hate him because he’s a tighty-righty or because he’s not Bruce Lee? I don’t care much either way for him (Bruce and Chuck were before my time; though I got into Bruce later, Jean-Claude Van Damme was my childhood martial arts hero), but some of the Chuck Norris facts were funny as hell when that thing first started. ---

He’s got to be the ugliest essobee who ever got a starring role in an American drama. Looks like a terrier with mange. ---

He was hard to get rid off, but it was done: "Then Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail’s Black Knight, and Benito Mussolini and the Blue Meanie and Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie, Robocop, Terminator, Captain Kirk and Darth Vader, Lo Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger, Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan, Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock and Hulk Hogan, All came out of no where lightning fast, and they kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy ass." -The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny 🙂 ---

It’s not because he’s right-wing, it’s because he’s an _insane_ righty – isn’t he into the whole “independent Texas” movement? ---

I don’t like either of them, or Van Damme, who was the huge martial arts star when I was a kid. I like Jet Li, though. ---

I agree with the OP, but mostly for his gradual slide into right-wing red-white-and-blue-gi wackery. His statute of limitations on respecting him for his prior embassadorship of the martial arts has run its course. ---

Yeah, but he made a pretty funny commercial for Mt Dew. ---

I’ve met Chuck Norris. He’s a very nice guy. I was actually an extra (just a face in the crowd) for Sidekicks. ---

I’d like to point out I made no comments on his political affiliations and did not know of them either. I just don’t like him because of all the reverence he gets. He’s nothing special and not very attractive and a slim, lithe Asian did it all before and did it sexier. I don’t like big hairy men much anyway. ---
