"I don't know how much I buy this whole 'ex-leftist' thing," one of my old professors wrote to me earlier this year as he was trying to wrap his head around how one of his "progressive" poetry students could somehow devolve into an aggressive, unapologetic, Evil Neo-Con Warmonger working for the demonic David Horowitz.
"From what I remember you always struck me as a pretty moderate dude in your columns," he said.
Why of course I did. Looking "moderate" and "reasonable" and "liberal" was the objective when in reality in my heart I was a radical and a socialist. Back in 2004-2006 when I was taking my professor's courses the public face I wore was one of a "progressive" Democrat.

I may have been dumb enough to identify with the Left but I was smart enough to know that if I told the truth about my political convictions then few people would be persuaded. So while I might have had six books by Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn on my shelf at the time, their names never showed up in my columns. How could I persuade anyone if I came out and actually said that racist, genocidal AmeriKKKa was the world's greatest terrorist state, its clawed fingers dripping with the blood of poor brown people all over the world?

The good news is that everything he touches turns to crap.
Ed Shultz will have plenty of food. I just know he dines on Cow Pies. He likes them Pittsburg style.. A thick brown crust and warm in the middle.
Stanley Kurtz was the most outspoken journalist during the campaign about the close personal and professional relationship between Obama and Domestic Terrorist Bill Ayers.
I still am baffled how the American Public could vote for a marxist with no accomplishments on his resume other than being employed by Bill Ayers. Am baffled why this is still not a central issue/controversy. Barry should be impeached.
He is protected by ALL 6 American (Saudi financed and shareholders) TV networks, plus hollywood and the MSM.
Indeed. What role would you say is Julian Assange is playing?
