Poll question: Which "liberal" program is most likely a right-wing front operation?
Which ostensibly "liberal" or "non-establishment" program is most likely a right-wing/CIA/MIC front operation?

4. The fact that he was a far-right-winger...
...til about five minutes ago indicates to me that he is probably an opportunist faker.

His worldview and philosophy are not all that progressive, either.

an excellent bridge, IMHO, for the middle ground.
He has on great guests and mixes it up, with the right, very well.

Did you see what Democrats.com said about them today?
http://www.democrats.com

"TROJAN HORSE ALERT: Spinsanity, Aided by A.merican P.ropaganda, Spinning Itself as 'Nonpartisan' ....(more)

I stopped reading them shortly after they began. "Nonpartisan" my patootie.

11. I really wish
there was a site out there that indexed and cataloged all of these trojan websites and media organizations. They've proliferated to such a degree that it's become almost impossible to keep up with them all.

8. That's why I put "non-establishment"
I think Coast-to-Coast tries to put on the most ridiculous and implausible stories and theories, to hook curious people who just aren't up to doing research or critical thinking. The more ridiculous stories there are floating around about 9-11, for instance, the more ridiculous the more plausible scenarios seem by association to Ma & Pa Middle America.

And of course, it serve's the interests of Powers That Be that as many people as possible are caught up in stories of ectoplasmic imprints, angels, and any number of other mumbo-jumbo phenomena. It's amazing how many people reject organized religion but will lap up that crap like you wouldn't believe.

10. "as many people as possible are caught up..."
Absolutely. What's more, I've noticed that since the 1990s the bullshit factor on these shows has been ratcheted up to the nth degree. In particular I'm thinking of that *other* John Edwards on the SciFi channel, the alien autopsies and the fake "investigations" of haunted houses. What incredible bunk.

Incredibly, these shows make Leonard Nimoy's In Search Of seem like a paragon of the scientific method.

9. Hell, there are even moments when I wonder...
...about Malloy...

"Is he pretending to be a left-winger, and spouting all this angry rhetoric and talk about being armed - hinting about the fight for this country that may be coming, as a way to inflame our passions, get us to go out and buy guns and such, annd make it that much easier for AssKKKroft to identify and come and round us all up when the time comes?"

But I then I think..."Nahh..."

If Big Eddie is good enough for Howard Dean and Hillary Clinton, "You're doing good work Ed", then what do you want?
