No one has anything to say about this? I disagree with some of the things said in this video...


The only thing I would disagree with is that the "conservative movement" part. Classic conservatives like Barry Goldwater or William Buckley would have supported OWS, but today's "mainstream" conservatives are more likely to back corporatism.

OWS is an anti-corporatism movement, and it is a position that many liberals and conservatives can get behind.

Show me an institution in this country that doesn't have racism in its history and I'll show you an institution that's less than 70 years old.

Rand Paul is a racist, and so is his father. So was William Buckley, the "Grandfather" of the conservative movement.

It's weird how many white people will intellectualize this issue, and discuss it as an abstract.

It's just racism. That is all that it is.

It was very clearly racism when on Morning Joe, none of the panel could keep their eyes off of Harold Ford.

Rand Paul is a racist, and so is his father. So was William Buckley, the "Grandfather" of the conservative movement. It's not difficult to discover. Lew Rockwell has all the old Ron Paul papers. They're ugly. Most of them are also homophobic, as well as misogynistic. All are clearly classist.

They are all quite hypocritical as well.

For instance, while Rand Paul claims he's a libertarian (when it suits him), he also believes in the drug war and the death penalty. He thinks that abortion is not a states issue. He also believes in subsidizing the coal industry, and %50 of his patients are Medicare recipients and is against any cuts in Medicare funding. So, basically he's just a wingnut racist Republican liar.

His father, the "World's Most Famous Libertarian" lobbied for $96.1million in Federal earmarks last year. But he doesn't want to spend a dime on giving Rosa Parks a medal? Yeah, that's not racism at all, it's just coincidental.

When Whoopie Goldberg is the resident William Buckley, you know the whole shebang's in trouble.

Mr Fish on William Buckley.
