Amaroq Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Lol, what a moron. At the end there he was listing all the ways a corporation is "antithetical to democracy." He obviously doesn't understand property rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherring109 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I wonder how many times Mr Brook had to bathe after appearing on the show? I agree with the sentiment completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prescient Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I could just barely to watch this to its end. Hartman's dishonest interpretation of the General Welfare clause and his advocating the restraint of corporations or the rich is rather childish if one stops to think the state is already muddying the water's of capitalism through its meddling in the process through the ever increasing restraints imposed in the form regulations, codes, laws and bureaucracy. It difficult to watch a show called the "Big Picture" which focuses on minutiae to the point of annoyance. It also annoying to listen this same statist criticize anti-statists (Ayn Rand) for taking the state services they were forced to pay for. Yaron did a great job laying out the common sense approach that our individual rights and choices are what make the republic what it is and not the obsession to my a mob constantly vexed by the haves and have-nots out of a misplaced sense of envy. This guy Hartman does a good job of pressing the call-warfare buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaight Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 This guy Hartman does a good job of pressing the call-warfare buttons. The really funny thing is that Hartman gave a positive cover blurb to Thompson and Brook's book Neo-Conservatism: An Obituary for an Idea. (Glenn Beck also blurbed the book positively, which is probably the first and last time those two will ever appear together on a book cover blurb list.)

OCSL Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I like how the interviewer thought that last question about Rand's smoking was going to stump Brook... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iflyboats Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) I can't watch past 55 seconds. Edited December 17, 2010 by iflyboats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Bennett Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) Why invite a guest on if your just going to talk over every.single.one of his answers? :dough: But Yaron did a great job despite being constantly interrupted.

James Bond Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I like how the interviewer thought that last question about Rand's smoking was going to stump Brook... you have to admit that was a really good point though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Wolf Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Well, there's really only so much you can do when you're being interrupted constantly, but I was disappointed a little with Yaron. He was less Socratic and more eager to hit Hartman with "OMG ROCKERFELLER WAS A GOOD GUY". He should have just waited for Thom Hartman to bring him up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yaron is usually amazingly cogent. I'd agree though that this wasn't his best interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2046 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Have you seen the latest ARCTV? This guy is a full-blown New Left mystic, explicitly anti-reality and anti-man: http://arc-tv.com/emotions-and-success/ Who's to say our reality is better than anyone else's reality? Take that Yaron!

Lasse K. Lien Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 The soundclip referenced to by 2046 genuinely made me laugh out loud. Pure gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
