re: #662 Charles

He’s “all over the place” in a way that’s totally consistent with right wing libertarian/religious ideology. The “no war for oil” stuff is not an indicator of left wing ideology; it’s quite simple to find this same rhetoric among far right libertarians.

What I said in post #431 when I linked to the 20-minute video was that “You could say that he is right, left, libertarian, or whatever, but it would just be an attempt to categorize a confused stoner as a member of the “other side” in order to make “them” look bad.”

I was not defending right-wing attempts to paint him as a left-wing-OWS-er. I was saying that any attempt to classify him as right, left, etc. would be futile. My opinion that he may have adopted ideas from many different ideologies is formulated by interpreting his own words, in context, over the course of that painful 20 minutes.
