GORE VIDAL, HYSTERICAL NUTCASE
A couple of days ago, I wrote here about listening to Pacifica radio as a source of views from the left. Well, I caught most of an interview with Gore Vidal this morning on Amy Goodman's show, "Democracy Now". I've read his commentary on the 2000 U.S. presidential election and his ranting about the war in Iraq, but I have to say that listening to him speak his ideas was truly chilling. There's no word that can describe his ideas other than "paranoid." He buys into the "blood for oil" theory hook, line and sinker, and basically preaches the idea that America has become a military state. I know that our friends on the left are fond of saying that Rush Limbaugh, Fox and the like are inflamatory. Well, so is Vidal.
