Hannity is done. he has to be about the most pompous, arrogant, and braindead commentator Ive ever seen on TV. Even Bill O'Reilly is more entertaining.
I would be happy to see Hannity get covered in the mud he so freely slings about. Im sure it wouldnt be to hard to find dirt on him.

I feel that staement is out of bounds and someone is owed an apology. There's no need for that type of statement around here. Chomsky has his opinions and some will agree. And the quote that you are referencing

"For those who stubbornly seek freedom, there can be no more urgent task than to come to understand the mechanisms and practices of indoctrination. These are easy to perceive in the totalitarian societies, much less so in the system of 'brainwashing under freedom' to which we are subjected and which all too often we serve as willing or unwitting instruments."
States pretty clearly that we all need to recodnize how "they" (the powers that be) attempt to indoctrinate us into thier desired positions for us. How is that Marxist? How is that not a statement that all of us should, no MUST, attempt to live by lest we become pawns in an enormous chess game? Please temper your statements so they are not percieved as offensive to someone elses opinions.
Thanks

Avowed
To acknowledge openly, boldly, and unashamedly; confess: avow guilt.

America is not a "Democracy"... never has been and hopefully never will be. It is a Constitutional representative Republic, which has a very few democratic principles at it's core.

In order for Communism to take hold, a democracy must be in place (paraphrased from karl marx.. who was definately on the left). America right now is running 5 of karl marx's planks.... not good.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt sleeper and just assume you're intellectually dishonest.
You know that's "right wing" and every bit the Bush administration as it is Stalin or Hitler in spite of you changing the words in my quote.
Guess you know you were wrong now about the political spectrum and had nowhere else to go but dishonest right wing tactics.
Stalin would be proud of you.

Is there really someone out there who has the audacity to compare the Republican Party to Stalin or Hitler? Thats just ignorance at its best... left Wing propaganda through and through.

Also keep in mind that many of the same corporations that backed and made buttloads of $$ of the Nazi's during WW2, are still around and more powerful than every in the US today, and many Nazis leaders and scientists found safe haven in the US after WW2.

And then of course Bush's grandad, Prescott, banked for the Nazis out of New England until his assets were seized by the US after we entered WW2. Bush's grandad, for Christ's sake! That's where a lot of that family's money has come down from.

Maybe we shouldn't simply brush off any claims of similarity between republicans and Nazis as "liberal propogranda." If there were any truth behind it, or even the just possibility, though I'm sure you won't think there is anyway, then don't you think we owe the rest of the world to entertain the idea deeply just to be on the safe side of things?

The United State's also was involved in genocide of people - such as many Native American tribes.
Originally posted by LostSailor
Yeah... Genocide is a pretty harsh term to call fighting for a homeland. At that particular time in history not much was known about the "Indians" accept they killed you for being "white." Call it what you will... but genocide is not what I would call it.

Just so you also know, these guys you hate pass things like "Patriot Acts" and new laws so they can hold people without any charges indefinitely or be able to torture them. They also like to consolidate power and have laws passed to give them more power and they like to appoint cronies they can trust in powerful positions as puppets to do what they say. And they pick out a minorty to blame all the evils of society on in order to keep the people angry, you know... in defense of "people power."

You describe left-wing communism to the T.
I have no problem with homosexuals, or women who wish to be president or have an abortion, and I am not a left-winger.

The left-wing elements of it are things like guaranteed jobs, guaranteed medical care, communal farming, and so on, which haven't even been discussed here.

In respect to those issues, yes, you are!
