Selling out
How dare a straight faced liar like Joe Walsh accuse others of being liars without admitting that he's a liar too.....I am outraged by his pompous disrespectful attitude and manipulation of the air waves. We are broke because he and his cronies help and pave the way for the 1% to take off with all the money and jobs! He is a sell out.
Just what Grant McCracken sees coming!
When I heard the MIT anthropologist, whose interview by Steve Paulson followed this interview of Rep. Joe Walsh, I realized that this was a perfect example of what McCracken predicts: increasing self-segregation and encapsulation into colonies of people who think just like you; Increasing intolerance and lack of exposure to ideas other than your own. Walsh mentions the "vast" numbers of people who think just like he does, and cites this vastness as the basis for his intransigent refusal to compromise in any way. What planet does he live on?
