Gore Vidal is an awesome intellectual

First Hitchens, now Vidal.... :(

Long live democratic socialism and freedom

This is the sort of host who asks how you "feel" about such-and-such. As opposed to what you might THINK about it....

"our secrets are NOW public knowledge..." sorry for the previous typo.

Has anyone here read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn? Brad

yea hes more honest

Oh, no! I continue to live in The Republic to the South that is mentioned. In Oklahoma no less. The Senator's grandson and I have agreed for many years, it will take a long time to fix this.

@michaels7 Public television supported by the patronage of wealthy people? C'mon!

wait, wait I thought GOP was good?

@jcostello117 Oh, sorry. I was about to give you a thumbs-up, then noticed you weren't talking about Gore Vidal.

2:29 😭😭😭

isefire: Yours may be the most ignorant - using its literal definition, without knowledge - response I've so far read: laughably claiming that Chomsky hails from the state-socialist Marxist tradition of Lenin and Mao. Nothing could be further from the truth; you have just falsified the plain facts by completely inverting reality. Noam Chomsky is loosely an anarchist, an anarchosyndicalist, in the tradition of Bakunin, Luxemburg, Rocker and Pannekoek. He was very much ANTI-Bolshevist.

@ 16 seconds in the interviewer is already cynical. with under eye bags that nearly match those of the interviewee - georgie boy - go back to vaulting pop music and save us the sufferage of your so called "greater" wit. p.s. - you are NOT my boyfriend.

@JDHURF ...Rosa Luxemburg was an avowed Marxist, not an anarchist. But you're right on the broader point: she was anti-vanguardism/Bolshevism, and so is Chomsky.
