European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - April 20, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse By Johnette Howard Steve Carlton never used to talk. Now he can to shut up. He a got the Muse. Talking about Gamma rays mind controlling Low frequency sound Waves three Hundred italians ruling the world from a meeting at a round table in Rome a no wait make that �?o12 jewish Bankers meeting in Switzerland to control the world his House in Colorado resembles a Bunker Complete with 3-foot-thick Cement Walls and a 7,000-Square-foot storage area underneath the main living area filled with canned food bottled water and weapons stored in plastic plumbing pipes. Why a the revolution is definitely coming a Carlton is quoted As saying. And eight straight . Presidents have committed treason. And aids was a created at a secret Mary food because you know who most of the waiters Are. Long before the article attributing All those comments to Carlton hit the Newsstands this month one of Carlton a handlers called Philadelphia Magazine editor Eliot Kaplan concerned that the magazines fact checker was focusing on such topics during Calls to the sex Phillies Pitcher. A this Isnit going to be another one of those nut bar in the bunkers stories is it a Kaplan says he was asked. Well. Few sports figures have made remarks As consistently strange As Carlton a. Former los Angeles dodgers executive a1 Campanis racist theories on buoyancy come to mind. Carlton a insistence under fire that his remarks were taken out of context made off the record quoted inaccurately or never uttered at All to Magazine writer Pat Jordan sounds suspiciously like Charles Barkley a complaint a few years Back that he too was misquoted a in his own autobiography. Carlton a complaints would be easier to take seriously if he challenged part of Jordan a article a no commentary the entire six Page spread. A seed of doubt might have been planted too if scads of teammates rushed to Carlton a defense. But even Tim Mccarver Carlton a personal Catcher in Philly and a close Friend for three decades has said Carlton so a eccentricity is a misguided a and one of Carlton a problems is he becomes a confused Reading about Radical then again it could be something else we be just Learned about Carlton he likes to listen to Rush Limbaugh a radio show which come to think of it travels Over Low .7. Frequency. 7. Sound. Waves whoa. There a that concept again. Carlton did no to return our phone Calls. But he has publicly apologized if he offended anyone with his comments. A a Jordan firmly says a i wrote what he neither Mccarver nor Jordan believes Carlton is a bigot or anti semite. Ask someone else who has read Carlton a remarks a especially a jew or a homosexual or an african american a and you might get a different answer. In a More inclined to agree with what sociologist Harry Edwards said when people rushed to Cam Panisz defense a if he a not a racist hell do till the real thing comes the american jewish Congress immediately condemned Carlton a remarks and issued a statement urging the baseball Hall of Fame to rescind Carlton selection before Bis induction on july 31. The acc later withdrew its objections when Carlton clarified his remarks when reached Friday David Smith a spokesman for the National Gay and lesbian task Force denounced Carlton a remarks As a reprehensible and based in hatred. He has absolutely no place being entered in the Hall of Fame. Comments like his inspire violence and Are totally in conflict with the values that should be but Hall of Fame president de stack has said Carlton sentry will stand. For the Sake of argument lets say Mccarver and Jordan Are right and Carlton is not a bigot. Then what is he Jordan who spent three Days with the reclusive Carlton at his Durango colo., Home says a a he a a fearful Man one of the most fearful men in be Ever met. Fear is a dominating thing with Carlton. And whenever you have a personal neurosis like that a be it fear anger guilt whatever a you justify it by pointing to the outside world for reasons or influences. A a a a -. A a a a Points lie a when he feels it fear he Hunts around Poi to All these conspiracies that might or might Robt related. He takes to heart just about anything he reads. And he does no to see the contradictions in the things he As a kid who was haunted by fears of an imminent apocalypse because of the passages my Mother used to read aloud when she was on her Edgar Cayce kick a a listen to this Honey. It says Here the end of the world will happen when you re us 35 How a bout that a a i have to add it would have been Nice if Carlton would make up his mind when it comes to his conspiracy theories. Is a the revolution going to be started by the Skull and Bones society of Yale University or the International monetary fund or the world health organization he mentions them All. And is it those 12 jewish Bankers or British intelligence or the elders of Zion or the . And russian governments that Are ruling the world there has always been a debate about whether careless words really Are glimpses of the soul whether words can inflict harm the same Way actions do whether words a and How Many a Are enough to make a life a work irrelevant. And the answer unsatisfying As it sounds is that it depends. The Bottom line Here is Carlton gets into the Hall of Fame alongside unchallenged racists such Asty Cobb. But now like Cobb his name might be forever sullied. And Carlton gets this asterisk too it was better when he refused to give interviews All those years. We did no to miss a thing.
