    If a German named his show "The Nazis" would you support his run for office?

    FDR was a racist too , interned 120,000 Japaneses,

    After the 1936 Berlin Olympics, only the white athletes were invited to see and meet Roosevelt. No such invitation was made to the African American athletes such as Jesse Owens, who had won four gold medals. A widely believed myth about the 1936 games was that Hitler had snubbed Owens, something that never happened. Owens said that "Hitler didn't snub me—it was [Roosevelt] who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram".[48] However, Hitler had left after Owens's first gold medal win and did not meet him. Subsequently, he did not meet with any of the gold medalists. Owens lamented his treatment by Roosevelt, saying that he "wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the President".

    FDR also did not support the Republican proposal to make Lynching a Federal crime. FDR also nominated Hugo Black to he Supreme Court black was a former KKK member with little judicial experience.

    I actually like him. he's anti-establishment, realizes the clintons are corrupt, and is a true believer. I respect people with principle, even when I disagree with them.

    If he was ever critical of the Clintons, its only because they weren't far left and progressive enough for him.

    What is the problem with that?
    I can't say that I always agree with him. He had a mid day spot on MSNBC but was thrown off because he kept bashing Obama. They offered him a bigger show on a Sat. format, but he opted to quit.

    I find myself disagreeing with his opinions often, and when you don't agree his obnoxious style is nauseating.

    Of course, when you agree, it's just wonderful.


    That aside, as a legislator, I believe he'd be great for Dems in the House. He's like Anthony Weiner, sans the public wiener pix. And, he'll make trump piss his pants every day.
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Thus far, his stances of healthcare, campaign finance reform and climate change is spot on, IMO...and those are the most important ones to me.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    That's bullshit, Young Turks is a general name for members of a group that usurp the established order. Why are Goths called Goths, they were genocidal maniacs so why did you become one? From Wiki.

    The term "Young Turk" is now used to signify "a progressive, revolutionary, or rebellious member of an organization, political party, etc, esp one agitating for radical reform"[8] and various groups in different countries have been named Young Turks because of their rebellious or revolutionary nature.
