29. It's got to be part of the propaganda
MSNBC didn't want a reasonably angry Phil Donohue on - No - he's not angy about the "right" things. It's got to be men who are angy because supposedly they (white men) are victims (of people other than other white men). We couldn't have people on TV who are angry about what white men are doing to the rest of us.

The sad thing to me is - that there are "angry white men" on "both" sides - like Larry Flynt. I don't see him as representative of the left, myself - but some people do. Anger can be whipped up against others through racist and sexist cartoons - just like it can through other means. And Flynt doesn't seem to have a problem with treating women like complete crap.

Robert Jensen and Stan Goff are other white men (in addition to Donohue) who get angry about things other than how white men are supposedly victimized. So it's not like they are all idiots - but the idiots sure get a lot of attention - which creates more idiots. All the better to continue wars and such. At least that's how it looks from here.
