This interview is germane to the topic; it doesn't belittle or sneer; it's not vicious or over the top; it's not combative or even partisan. But it still shreds Goldberg's arguments, with the simple application of direct quotations from Goldberg and Mussolini. Perfect.
IT BURNS!
I mean, whose brilliant idea was it to waste bandwith on this idiot?
I think that the points made by the author in the article are interesting, i dont agree with them all and i think he is basicaly redefiing the left right axis to suit himself as something no one else would recognise, however all this is irrelevent because of the cover.
His laughable excuses for the cover mean i will never read this book. I pickup this book and imedialty see he is intending that readers equate liberals with Nazis. If he wasnt why on earth would he have approved this cover, for all his talk of mussollini that isn't musollini's moustach.
So its just another piece of right wing propoganda - move on folks nothing to see here
Your attempt at objectivity in this interview brings new meaning to mewling sycophantism.
Historical revisionism: The act of being so incredibly stupid as to ignore decades of understanding that while the further right you go the closer you get to fascism, the further left you go the closer you get to totalinarianist communism. Never in history has extreme left in this country been any better than extreme right, unless you follow the beliefs of extremists. Thank you for failing to point his out.
