re: #105 Gus

I don’t know. Michale Moore is tough to figure out. He says some pretty stupid things sometimes but in the end he finally fell in line during last years campaign and turned out to be rather pragmatic on many issues. Now that the election is over he may go back to his old familiar ways which are rather questionable. But I really was surprised to see how he changed, at least for the duration, last year. He’s still not mainstream however and he will receive an occasional dose of criticism from the “pragmatic Obots.” Sadly though, I saw those very same “pragmatic Obots” go emoprog over Dorner last night. People are complicated I guess. I went emoprog on Obama over Operation Pillar of Cloud yet remain on Israel’s side. Weird, ain’t it?

It is a complicated picture and some people are hard to figure out. It’s always been fascinating to me. There are true believer ideologues (Ron Paul, Code Pink, Noam Chomsky), there are partisan shills for personal profit/attention (Breitbart, Michael Moore), corporate shills for profit and selling advertizing (MSNBC, FOX). Most of the population is susceptible to their political instincts, thus becoming prey to the above mentioned predators. Not everybody is easy to categorize but some people are more transparent than others.
