This is about defending crony capitalism. The patrons of the radical right make lots of money cooperating with authoritarian regimes in oil-rich countries, so lapdogs like Beck do what they can to move popular opinion in their favor.
- abrown28 16y agoDo you believe the radical left is on your side?
- JamieEi 16y agoWho is this radical left you speak of? Do you mean Comedy Central? I don't think that there is a left-wing analogue of the radical right with anything approaching the same level of organization, funding or popular impact. I would think that as Americans we would all be on the side of people overthrowing repressive, autocratic, even murderous regimes. It saddens me that Beck et al are not.
- abrown28 16y agoI'm for the overthrow of repressive, autocratic and murderous regimes as long as there is some hope of replacing it with something better. I'm not sure that's the case in Egypt but I hope it is. Egypt will not be better off if the muslim brotherhood takes over and institute sharia law.
- cleverjake 16y agoJust to be clear - unless there is a certain better replacement the murderous regimes should be left in power?
