I down-dinged this not because I am " without a care as to what Pat Condell is saying", but because I actually do care about what is being said here, by Condell.

Condell is the last person who ought to condemn another for a "lost sense of proportion", as he is quite guilty of that himself.

I figured that Randall (at the least) would down ding this.

Shame there's not a drinking game associated.

Got any opinion on the video itself, free?

Pat on his game again. Saying it as it is.

OT to OP: back in the day - which seems like only a few months ago - Pat was welcomed here on LGF.

re: #1 freetoken

I'm just curious. What if you read the text of this, scrubbed of Condell's very strong writing voice, so that it would sound like a generic review of a section of Britain's media?

The ultimate question that's been bantered about--indirectly--is what is the nature of the fascist personality? Is it simply confined to what is referred to as the 'right wing', or might it also try to flourish on the 'left wing'?

It's tempting to think of the king fascists as the archetypes (Himmler, Goebbels), but what of the rank and file party supporters who couldn't wait to put on a uniform--and channel thousands of years of hate and murder through the respectability of the law or science? What of the people who lived in the town near Buchenwald, and claimed they had no idea what was happening? How does a person transform their view of you from that of friend to that of raw material?

These are not questions that have been asked with the proper degree of seriousness.

By the way, that's the level of writing that we should see on Camera. You can agree or disagree with Condell, but those videos are not slapdash improvisations. Just compare his ending with the standard Camera line--where is the outrage?

Wikiquote conveniently provides a few dozen of Condell's more controversial statements with links to the videos they came from.

If anyone can locate something I've said that even remotely approaches his vituperativeness, I'll accept the label of "hater" for down-dinging his videos. No, I didn't watch the video, nor do I have the slightest intention of doing so.
