Description
WHEN A SIGNIFICANT portion of the commentariat decided in early January that enough hyperbolic, martially themed political rhetoric was enough, that it was time for journalists to purge words like "battleground" from their election reporting and certainly long past time for the Republican Party to erase such eliminationist modifiers as "job-killing" to describe Democratic legislation like Obama-Care, not a single member of the newly cautious caucus pointed a cautionary finger at Chris Hedges. Chris Hedges, if you haven't heard of him, is a Pulitzer-winning New York Times war correspondent turned apocalyptic essayist for the lefty website Truthdig.com. He is someone who, after Greek protesters burned banks and murdered innocents in 2010, wrote: "Here's to the Greeks. They know what to do when corporations pillage and loot their country." Around that same time he wrote a piece tided "This Country Needs a Few Good Communists." And as many commie nostalgics tend to do, Hedges has repeatedly claimed that the modern U.S. is comparable to Hitler's Germany.
