I've heard from a number of people that Ron Kuby -- the radical Marxist lawyer who does a morning radio show with Curtis Sliwa on WABC in New York -- is regarded by many of the station employees at the station as the most decent human being they've ever met.I once met Ron Kuby at a bar while waiting for a train, and after speaking with him for a half-an-hour, I left thinking that he's one of the nicest, most honest, and generous people you will ever meet despite our obvious political and philosophical differences. I listen to him and Curtis almost every morning, and next to Mark Levin, Kuby is probably the smartest and most intellectually honest person on talk radio today. (He is also pro-Second Amendment.)
Not every Marxist, liberal or atheist is a bad person. We tend to assume a person's political beliefs means they have terrible character. Not necessarily. Some people on the other side are very likeable and you'd count them as personal friends even when you don't see eye to eye with them on politics. It all comes down to decency. Some people have it and some people are just a poor reflection on humanity.
