Yeah I saw that.
The panel was good up to and including that point. They talked about how Obama shouldn't be receiving the peace prize as long as he is carrying out wars. Things went downhill after this point, though, when they started talking about how being wealthy is the same as taking from the poor.

it is, but they should differentiate what type of wealth that is taking from the poor. Wealth that is made from govt subsidies, benefits, handouts, etc is a way of taking money from the poor like Wall Street banks and defense contractors. Wealth that is made from productive means like providing goods or services is not taking from the poor, but makes those around them more prosperous. The fact that they didn't distinguish the two will probably reaffirm to the liberal viewers that all rich people are evil and are taking from the poor.

"it's rather difficult by book's end to fully dismiss his belief that 'history is just a collection of accepted lies' told to keep the masses in line."

He shouldn't have made the Kennedy claim about him being murdered over it. That's very possibly true but there are a lot of good answers as to why he was killed. See? He got all kooky sounding and it discredited the gist of his point. As soon as he said it Mahar thought "nutball".

Yes, that is precisely the reason why that type of thinking is detrimental to one's understanding of world affairs.
