: I think this guy is brilliant, iv read "Dude, Where's my country?" and think its one of the best
: books of 2003. I also like how hes not afraid to speak his mind, his speech at the academy
: awards disgusted Charlston Heston to the point that he just got up and left.
: HAHAHA
I think he has some good points and some good messages in what he says, but I also think he goes too far sometimes and it takes away from the credibility of the argument he's trying to make. I felt that a lot while reading Stupid White Men. He'd quote some sources and make some good argument and I'd think "wow, it's incredible that this stuff is going on", but then he'd go onto some hypothesis that seems far fetched and paranoid and I'd think, "damn, and he was doing so well". :/ That being said, he's a hundred times more credible and evolved than any conservative.
