Maybe channel some of your idiot rage into confronting that fact rather than going after a nice old guy who hid the Pentagon Papers in his house (helping end the war) AND supported black students in their library sit-ins in the 50's helping catalyze civil rights. There is NOTHING more slap-worthy than the "right-wing hipster." fuck Salinger, RIP Zinn

I guess it was well-written, but it made me want to jump out of a window. Most of Salinger's short stories arn't any better, although I enjoy a few autobiographical ones. Vane$$a, Ke$ha ripped you off with the dollar sign gimmick. And I'm having a really tough time believing you're "short attention span" when you start arguments like this, you fucking queermo.

Privileged loudmouths. But saying something because it isn't PC isn't the same as saying something smart or right.

And they are plentiful. Clearly you're a fan of the almighty $ and that's your true beef with Zinn. Which is cool. Make that money. Just know there's almost always a social, environmental, and/or economic cost associated with the cold pursuit of that dollar. And I'm pretty sure Zinn has donated most of the money he's made to causes fighting against current injustices. V,

Say what you will about Jim Goad, he at least takes the time to write his audience a map to his conclusions. Still, he's not particularly rare in doing that. You can't get a bachelor's degree in history without citations, but you can write this hugely influential book that thousands of teachers use to debunk everything? It makes no sense you see, none at all. Oh, but that's right, it does make sense. Liberals are nothing more than a shady collection of brainwashed jugheads who think that low level propaganda = the truth. All Zinn does is bitch about the profit motive, yet no one has ever called him out for being a shyster who made a tidy fucking profit by bitching about the cynical profit motive. You'd have to be a complete fucking moron to not notice that slight conflict in the blatherings that formed his career. But hey, who cares? Show us your goddamn sources and everything will be okay. Let us check to make sure that your not pulling our chain. Throw a bone to the smart people who possess standards. I don’t understand how you can re-write history without divulging your sources.

After all, Indians had a great life living in tee pees before the white man came.
