Well..
Reader comment on: Shock Jock
in response to reader comment: Chile comment alone exposes you as much as you claim to expose Ms. Klein

Submitted by Cain Adamsson, Nov 5, 2007 05:11

". And when Alan Greenspan said during an interview that he fears the populist policies rising in South America - Ms. Klein broke in to ask him, doesn't populist also simply mean popular - to which he had no response." Britney Spears is populare.. that doesen't make her a valid or competent musician.. does it..? "I am no longer intimidated by the kind of rhetoric you offer. Time's up. It's a new millenium, the "Reagan Revolution" is over and so is the unquestioned acceptance of neo-liberalism." How is this comment even _close_ to being relevant? "Woops!!! I thought "free market" ideas simply "worked better." " Yes, a state doing something wrong is absolutely something the free market should take the blame for.. brilliant comment mr. Erik Bloom.
