7. quote from Stern...?

Stern, who? Howard? Isaac? National Basketball Association commissioner David? Avraham?

In any case, you may be trying to put Hedges in too narrow a frame. He's so far off the reservation that when he turns out to have been kind of prescient, it's worth a second look.

I remember reading a column or two of his, on the need for getting bodies into the street, as the only means of effective protest and getting real change. I was thinking, "yeah, right." That was a few months before the Occupy movement took off.

Maybe it's just me, but speaking of fascists, when I go back to Milton Mayer:

...and insert Hedges into that frame, what he's saying now is much easier to understand.

Thom Hartmann's former producer sort of does that (the other way around), referencing Mayer, in a spoof of Ann Coulter, here:
