Cornel West endorses Green Party’s Jill Stein, calls Trump “neo-fascist catastrophe"....
Salon.com ^ | July 15, 2016 | Ben Norton

In his op-ed, West echoed what he told Salon in an interview in May. “Just to tell the truth, Trump is a narcissistic neo-fascist in the making, and you just have to say that. That’s what it is,” he said, blasting the corporate media for fueling the rise of the GOP front-runner and describing him as the out-of-control Frankenstein’s monster who is “coming back to haunt you.”

“Hillary Clinton is a milquetoast neoliberal” who is pushing for “hawkish policies around the world; you just have to say that,” West added. He excoriated the capitalist system and the “big money” that rules society for leaving Americans with the choice between Clinton and Trump.

For entertainment purposes .... so the Democrat Party morons had their platform co-written by a guy who is not even a Democrat.... but ofc Cornel West was pushed forward by Bernie Sanders, who is not really a Democrat.

He’s a neo-moron....

Incredible that this guy has held tenured positions at both Harvard and Princeton.... well maybe not surprising given the depths to which academia has fallen.

My mistake, cornel is apparently the this guy’s first name. They weren’t talking about the real Colonel West.

>>“Just to tell the truth, Trump is a narcissistic neo-fascist in the making, and you just have to say that. That’s what it is,”

I’m watching the alternating coverage of muslim massacres and BLM demanding separate but (not) equal laws and I’m thinking, “We need a neo-fascist to break these animals.” I honestly hope that Trump is everything they fear and more.

A little, I thought they got Colonel Allen West to say something about Trump. Then I read the article, and realized they were talking about someone completely irrelevant.

It’s an older generation name (Cornel), for sure. Wilde was like a 50s lead actor.....

Those who scream “nazi”, “fascist”, “neo-fascist”, define themselves with their own words.

I remember my time in the AF 68-76. We called the Colonels “Bird” or “Chicken” for full Colonels and “light” Colonels for Lieutenant Colonels. I always thought it was funny we took one of the rank descriptions from the Germans and the other from the French.......

If you got to Lt Col and eligible for promotion to full and got passed over when you had 20 years, that was basically your pink slip. Might as well retire.

He’s like a precious bird that they keep in a gilded cage. Notice that he never critiques the universities and how they are funded.

Who exactly is this Cornell West who hates neo's, America, capitalism, blah, blah, blah? And how is what this nobody is saying and doing, news?

I love America, the Constitution and freedom and liberty. Why am I not in the news for my point of view?

I guess I am not the right color, the right kind of hater or a Marxist liberal. This'll teach me who's in charge.
