In this clip he criticizes Obama for cutting $4 trillion. He's not perfect; based off his tweets he seems to have petty nationalist concerns, like of the fact that American flags aren't made in America, and he also seems to have the typical belief that Obama is weak but has the right values. Nevertheless, at least he recognizes that both parties are right-wing fucks and condemns them for it, so he'll probably be canned in a matter of time.

Anyway, maybe this guy will pull a Chris Hedges and start talking about the good old days when communists had influence and invoking the working class, imperialism, empire, etc. I just hope that if this transformation happens it happens while he's still on air. Until then... I dunno. Maybe we should send him twitter messages or something.

I don't know, he was peddling the NWO's version of the problems with the Federal Reserve.

He also spoke glowingly of Ron Paul I believe.

Let's face it, the anti-NWO libertarian crowd is winning new people to their ranks every day

He confuses me. He seems like somebody who becomes progressively more left-wing and progressively more libertarian at the same time because he's realizing that all the mainstream chatter he's been hearing is wrong. He's a... mishmash of hodgepodge. That about sums it up.

The fact that he's the best mainstream anchor who we can settle for is pretty sad. I just hope maybe, just maybe, he's beginning to see the light if he's actually concerned about budget cuts.

Everyone is a mesh of both progressive and libertarian elements in the US. The fundamentalist respect for private property and the desire to become rich one day has them side with libertarians, but living under the harsh work conditions in the US has them also siding with higher wages, sometimes with unions, and wanting to maintain social services.
