So, you can’t read a marxist attack on fascism, and you can’t read fascist attacks on marxism? I read it all.
Tonight’s TV program was devoted to Hayek who is one of my favorite authors; I’ve read Road to Serfdom a couple of times and Constitution of Liberty about three times and looking forward to a fourth.
No one does what Beck does on TV, and its a pity.
What? Reading is an act of inwardly digesting something. Beck was engaged in front of a microphone outwardly spewing content from a vile author.
(So, sorry, to have to break it to ya, but Beck was doing more than picking up a book to read before he shut off the light)
Secondly, if he was going to mention this book, sounds to me like he needed to issue umpteen hundred disclaimers alongside it...how this author praised Hitler's pre-WW II work...this author's anti-semitic rantings...her ties to the U.S. Nazis...her indictment/trial for sedition.
ANY Talkinghead worth his or her salt would know that once you start running into that many qualifiers and the seriousness of them, you begin to ask yourself, "Why even bother stirring this up with a mention at all?"
As it was, Beck then confessed, "I don't know because I didn't look it up" ... I'm sorry but the same kind of ignorance he displayed in previewing Mormonism is NOT what we need as he previews other writings!
