Good stuff from West once again.

In before all the "but he's a socialist" comments.

He is called "liberal" by a semi-neocon-apologist chick in above clip and he quickly correct her, "I'm not a liberal, I'm a christian" lol
Classic. The daily caller "contributor" guy is really a sign of scum in media.

[fr33]

Much respect to Cornel West. He stands by his principles.

[kcchiefs6465]

Nice.

[twomp]

This is America. It's okay to be a liberal, atheist or whatever the hell you wanna be. The problem comes when you try to enforce your world view on other people or you fail to live up to the standards you set on other people. Kudos to him for standing by his principals no matter what "labels" people around here throw on him.

[AuH20]

Cornel West actually spoke well of the Tea Party. He seems to be aware.

Yep, you can respect a man who displays some integrity, is honest with you and with himself.. even if you don't align with his views on everything.

[Aratus]

in slightly less than 24 hours our POTUS will be visiting Boston in the late morning/early afternoon
4 a string of meetings. Fenway Park on Wednesday nite will have tons of BoSox fans hoping for a
World Series and also by seven in the evening there will be a mayoral debate on our local TV sets.
i'm going to look for coverage of the protests around the presidential visit. Cornel West is spot on.

BTW, notice how leftist mild-neocon Bill Maher tries to talk down impact of what Snowden did.

Ditto.
I actually have some respect for a few conservatives too.

[jmdrake]

Wow! So far I've plus repped everyone in this thread except for those who I can't +rep until I "spread it around" some more.

Cornel West and Tavis Smiley gave Ron a pretty good interview back in February.

There is only one way we survive. That is if the left and right can unite on the common ground against those that we know are tearing our civil liberties away.

Having studied as an anthropologist, Cornel West was required reading on many subjects; he is a brilliant man. He has insight on many things that few of us really have the experience to really understand. Respectfully disagree on many things, mightily concur on far more.

[Aratus]

i think i just repped everyone in the thread,
just even for commenting here. i remember
how furious we were at the "W" in late 2oo8
but in FEB of 2oo9 i had said it was too early
to impeach BHO, at the time the depressing
thought was that he had to be a president
in full before being taken to task in full for his
actions. he had to job function a year and a half
in order to put his mark on policy in full, so by
degrees he had to make his very own mistakes
in order not to be punished for what the "W" did!

[enhanced_deficit]

I'm starting to like brother West.

[kpitcher]

I ran across this as a suggested video. Months older, Jul 22, but Cornel West has been going on about the drone strikes, snowden as a good guy, bad justice system, anti NSA, a moral obligation to protect all children. Good talk. I've only seen him on a few Real Time episodes before, he's got some good points.

Bill Maher is a liberal progressive, not a neocon.

Bill Maher is a liberal progressive, not a neocon.

Second verse, same as the first.

No difference except the right and left buzz words to keep people thinking there's a difference.

Good on West!

Neo-Conservatives are basically fake conservatives, but Bill Maher doesn't pretend to be conservative -- he's a progressive liberal.

Bill Maher has claimed to be a libertarian. Clearly he's not, but he's made the claim. So...what's a fake libertarian?

Anti-Libertarian?

[kpitcher]

He's libertarian on wanting weed legal. That's about it as far as I can tell. I do watch his show regularly as it can have interesting discussions and the new rules are usually amusing.

I think kpitcher was talking about Bill Maher as Cornel West does not have his own show. Regardless of his political beliefs I respect West. Mahr is an ass.

EM. Have to agree with that.

On unrelated note, teachers like below need to think better than to project collectivist thoughts if goal is to project disgust towards disgraced SWC drone king because of his lowly charcter / performance and becoming political prostiture for moderate neocons.


Teacher Tells African-American Student: “We Don’t Need Another Black President” (http://http://www.care2.com/causes/teacher-to-african-american-student-we-dont-need-another-black-president.html)

A science teacher in Ohio was suspended without pay in late December for allegedly telling an ambitious young African-American student that the country does “not need another black president.”
According to The Cincinnati Enquirer, the Fairfield City School District’s Board of Education suspended Gil Voigt from Fairfield Freshman School on Monday, December 23. This is the first step necessary for termination.
Voigt, who is white, is accused of making this remark after the student said he would like to become president. The incident occurred on December 3, with several other students present, according to a report from Assistant Superintendent Roger Martin, who conducted a disciplinary hearing on the matter.
...It is notoriously difficult to terminate a public school teacher once that teacher has gained tenure, even when there are clearly grounds for a termination; at one high school where I taught, a teacher had racked up a series of offenses from almost running a student over to throwing chairs across the room and helping her students cheat on a test.
Those actions weren’t enough to terminate her, however, since she had tenure. She finally quit only after being offered a new position that the administration was sure she wouldn’t accept.

So I applaud the Fairfield School Board for their quick actions in moving to terminate Voigt.
It is unconscionable for a teacher to make a comment like this to a student. We don’t need any Gil Voigts in our nation’s schools.

To be fair,swc's pastor had called it a "selection". (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7plDxu-0rBA&feature=player_detailpage#t=171s)



But people who lost children/family members because of those bahms seem color blind/insensitive to ddg's features when protesting.

Yep. Bush would have never gotten away with siding with Al Qaeda for regime change in Libya or expanding the role of "Africom."
