Mark, it is so appropriate that you chose "Soul On Ice" as your moniker to hide behind... as Eldridge Cleaver was once a dogmatic leftist who eventually became a conservative Republican and a born again Christian, so too, I predict, such a blossoming transformation for you will someday come (when you finally grow up and overcome your childish neuroses, that is.)
Eldridge Cleaver and Lamprey Eel: a true two-of-a-kind: spiritually united brothers in the Family of Man, Reagan Republicans and commited fighters against Socialist doctrine.
Very likely the only thing you and he have in common. Also, you left out his cocaine/crack addiction, which happened not long after his Republican "conversion". More importantly, though, if you check out the interviews from his last years, you'll note that after he cleaned up, for the remainder of his life, he was neither Republican nor Democrat, nor any specific political affiliation.
for me, having Giant Leech come here from Waxidermy is like having the all-time most annoying person in my workplace suddenly marry my Sister. Annul, Raj. Annul and BAN.
Eldridge Cleaver was batshit crazy. Back when I was growing up we used to see him all the time around Berkeley and Oakland, standing on the street ranting into space. This was after his unsuccessful run for office.

"In the early 1980s, Cleaver became disillusioned with what he saw as the commercial nature of mainstream evangelical Christianity and examined alternatives, including Sun Myung Moon's campus ministry organization CARP, and Mormonism. Cleaver was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on December 11, 1983, periodically attended regular services, lectured by invitation at LDS gatherings, and was a member of the church in good standing at the time of his death in 1998.
By the 1980s, Cleaver had become a conservative Republican. He appeared at various Republican events and spoke at a California Republican State Central Committee meeting regarding his political transformation. In 1986 Cleaver embarked on an unsuccessful campaign to win the United States Senate seat held by Democratic incumbent Sen. Alan Cranston, as he received less than two percent of the vote in the Republican Party primary."
I suspect tertiary syphilis rotted his brain and was behind all of this godhopping crap.

Mr. Cleaver's drug abuse problems were the engine of his downfall, no doubt about it. It was a sad and unfortunate outcome for a troubled man that others should take heed from (ie: the dangers of hard drugs and the demonstrable outcome of their usage.)
Just wanted to add that this is truly some far-out s***. The only thing that could make this ad crazier would be if Blowfly were the model. Or perhaps Rudy Ray Moore. Either one would have done it if asked, I'm sure.

Let go of your fears and come join us, Mark.
What happened to the mods here anyway? Do they still like records?
He's also responsible for this
That's the thing about all these born again evangelical dudes. It's all overcompensation for doing shit like having meth-fueled sex parties with male hookers.
You're a fucking cock. Deal with it.
He sure done got some feathers ruffled though.
i chuckled.

An absolute full fledged lunatic crackpot.
Sure, he had some lucid moments.
