You know you’re in for a spirited episode of “Left, Right & Center” when Truthdig’s own Robert Scheer drops a line like “Tony, you’re getting overly excited for NPR.”

‘BLANK BLANK’ BLANKLEY

Read ‘Expletive @#$%%^&% deleted’ for ‘Blank’.

Tony Blankley has become intolerable. Firstly, he will not shut up and let anyone else finish their points. Robert Scheer was the repeated victim of this boorish, and hugely annoying to listen to, behaviour.

Blankley deserves a large boot in his ample posterior. Yes, Virginia, he is a ‘fat git’. (UK term of art for right wing pundits. Not (too big) a slur).

Secondly, though he may have been born in the UK he has none of the UK’s self-deprecation, nor its humour, which makes even nonsensical, or disgusting, Neocon views tolerable. He just sounds like the usual US reich-wing windbag. Aka Neocon. Aka proto-fascist. Aka Neocon-Nazi. A windbag who will not take his turn, who will not listen, will not stop interrupting and will not be polite.

Is being part of the disintegrating GOP having some sort of symbiotic effect on his facade as a (US faux-)gentleman? Has the reich-wing think-tank taken away his feed-bag?

Suggestion
He either shapes up or ships out—With Zero further warnings—One more talking over anyone else and that’s it—Hasta La Vista, Baby.

On second thoughts, find a real left winger - perhaps David Harvey - then the rest of Left, Right and Center can revert to their ‘right wingers’ category which is how the rest of the world understands Left, Right and Center.  Gore Vidal - the US has one political party, the Property Party, with two right wings - Democrat and Republican.

If we’re speaking of the Global War Of Terror, the provocation of impassioned hatred over religious divides is the very best way to keep the psy-op rolling; moreover, the Left/Right schism upon which these (and virtually all) pundits base their pathetic careers, regularly serves up an endless string of unwitting shills for the dominant paradigm of both Neoliberal and Neoconservative perpetuation of an Empire more vicious than any of these fools can possibly imagine. If they can imagine it, that makes them witting rich assets to the entire psy-op.

Tony Blankly is fanatic nut and on top of that he is a perennial ignorant and bigot. I am wondering what’s the wisdom of having him on a forum like this! No one will learn any thing from this bigot loser.
From now on, as long as he is part of this forum, I am not going to listen to something that makes me feel like throwing up!
