Ed Schultz rules!

It's nice to hear contrarian entertainers on the AM dial once in a while. The right-wing fascist blowhard is a pretty saturated market, so it's nice to hear a communist once in a while. Really helps if they can deliver a punch line.

Larry Elder is interesting in that he's a walking talking man-bites-dog story. But his show is SOOOO boring. The man is absolutely humorless.

The most fascinating shows I've ever heard were from a guy named William Cooper, on some obscure shortwave station. The guy was a raving paranoid delusional right wing gun nut tax protester whacko. Boy, he could spin some wild yarns! He was killed in a gunfight a few years back after shooting a sheriff deputy. He probably thought they were U.N./IRS goons come to take his guns and soverignty. In fact the cops were there to arrest him since he was generally a drunken prick and had assaulted someone.

Communists do challenge the status quo. Wouldn't that make them liberal by your own definition?

I hate it when you people are PURPOSELY stupid just to be offensive. By that definition Bush is the most successful communist in many years.

Why do you little boys insist on the name-calling rather than engage in serious debate?

Oh, never mind, it's a rhetorical question, when will I learn that it's useless...

There are degrees of liberalism and radicalism of course, as there are degrees of everything. To say that liberal = communist is like saying conservative = fascist. It's just stupid.

So true. For the average Joe trying to survive as a valued member of his society, could he tell any real difference in day-to-day affairs if his "leaders" were communists or fascists?

And when black and white do not exist -- everything is just some shade of gray -- intellect seems to arrive at whatever conclusion it deems best.

I will try to catch Ed Schultz, but I think he's pulling your leg about being a 2004 pc-lib.
