Ron Paul ally gets prime-time TV show

I'm familiar with Russia Today; it's a propaganda outlet for Vladimir Putin. That alone speaks volumes about this character's character.
 
I've only seen RT in hotel rooms in Europe, where it seems to be the only English language selection in a lot of the European hotels I've stayed in the last few years. It has high production values and almost no useful information. There is a very tight rotation of just a few daily stories -- kind of like a HLN, but even worse.

Liberty-oriented celebrity Adam Kokesh has just landed a prime-time TV show of his own on Russia Today (On the English-language American broadcast).

Kokesh gets liberty-oriented TV show on Russia Today

What's your take on this, are you familiar with him?

What does "liberty-oriented" mean?

What qualifies him as celebrity? I've never heard of him (and I can name more than one Kardashian).
Was he on Dancing with the Stars?

... and more importantly, what does "liberty-oriented" mean on Russia Today? Superficially, RT looks like a news channel, but that's all smoke and mirrors. They've never seen an End-of-the-West scenario that they didn't like, they love to interview (non-Russian) kooks to peddle fringe theories, and they don't mind broadcasting the same doom predictions over and over again with changed dates (for example, I recently saw them interview some politicial scientist who predicted a new US civil war before the summer of 2012; he's previously predicted it before the end of 2010, 2009, and 2008).

If your favorite patriot gets a show on Russia Today, instead of cheering you might wonder why he's aligning himself with the Kremlin mouthpiece.
 
According to his Wikipedia page, he was a pretty srewed-up Marine. Got busted from Sergeant to Coporal for illegally bringing a pistol back from Iraq, then had his Honorable discharge down-graded toGeneral because he was seen attending an anti-war demonstration in uniform.

There are several accounts of his being arrested for putting up posters making rather vile racist remarks about Arabs.

Sounds like an utter drongo to me.
