Judis was born in Chicago. He attended Amherst College and received B.A. and M.A. degrees in Philosophy from the University of California at Berkeley. In 1969 he was a founding editor of Socialist Revolution (which was later renamed Socialist Review and then Radical Society before ceasing publication in 2009). In the 1970s he was a founding editor of the East Bay Voice. Judis started reporting from Washington in 1982, when he became a founding editor and Washington correspondent for In These Times, a democratic-socialist weekly magazine.
He has also written for GQ, Foreign Affairs, Mother Jones, The New York Times Magazine, and The Washington Post.
In 2002, he published The Emerging Democratic Majority (co-written with political scientist Ruy Teixeira), a book arguing that Democrats would retake control of American politics, thanks in part to growing support from minorities and well-educated professionals. Its title was a deliberate echo of Kevin Phillips' 1969 classic, The Emerging Republican Majority. The book was named one of the year's best by The Economist.
I love it. you sure know how to find them.
Could a man be any more of a communist without a CP-USA membership card (which I’m not sure he doesn’t have!) in this country?
Wheres all the war protestors denouncing Obama, no blood for oil
No more Blood for Oil.
Take back Obama’s Peace prize now.
Liberal suckers...
No, it’s all about making Obama and the Democrats look good.
Oh, fer crying out loud. These idiots are still singing the same busted old song.
“No, it’s all about making Obama and the Democrats look good.”
that’s the only reason that makes sense because obamas concern for Iraqi oil would be inconsistent with his apparent desire to make America an energy pauper, eg keystone, epa regulations etc.
Would liberals be willing to go to war to acquire or protect access to clean water of air? Or just to ensure the continued flow of government handouts?
Who cares why? Just keep dropping them on the evil scum ISIS.
“Where is your papers.” Typical birther. :)
lolz
Clearly to this man it is only acceptable to go to war if there are no economic reasons involved. If then.
This sort of thinking passes for rationality in Leftist circles.
An incredible accumulation of words which amount to a pile of horse manure. Clearly this liberal socialist does not get far from the front door of whomever is serving the strongest cool-aide. I have American friends still in Irbil as well as a number of Christian Armenian and Christian Iraqis. So far they are all fine and I pray they remain safe. These ISIS, IS, Daash or whatever one wishes to call these rats, need to be eliminated to the last soul and sent to hell.
The 1922 political book “Public Opinion” by Thomas Lippmann said, (essentially) “each person views events through a colored lens. The capitalist sees there was a need and an entrepreneur built a factory and sold goods in a free market at a take it or leave it price. The communist sees a capitalist exploiting the downtrodden masses for personal gain. For each the other is lying and a dangerous character with no moral values. But each sees the same facts and brings his own conclusion.”
While oil is a factor, the air strikes are about establishing the border between the ISIL state and the Kurdish state.
The nation that was Iraq is no more.
All about oil? How old is that refrain? We have more oil than we can use right here in our own country.
Hillary and Obama weren’t after oil in Libya. They were after Qadaffi’s money.
John Judis is a supporter of genocide. That's the bottom line.
