That's just me.<br /><br />Plus let's not forget that Alexander Cockburn, who was one of the founders of CP, was a rabid Al Gore hater as well as the Left's leading climate change denier.Marc McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055850066263788781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-67647122815775666322016-07-11T21:50:53.659-04:002016-07-11T21:50:53.659-04:00Note, I deleted Ken's post on principle becaus...Note, I deleted Ken's post on principle because he is a "Euro-American right" troll. Not to stop people from reading the CounterPunch article he linked (<a href="http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/07/11/is-the-real-scandal-the-clinton-foundation/" rel="nofollow">here</a>).

I was very pleased to be reminded that Tom is a vicious racist and that Nick/Scott knows it and disapproves (but a bit too cowardly in 1925, both the fictional narrator and the real author, to point his disapproval out too explicitly). But I really should have made the connection with Trump, that's vital.Yastreblyanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335868257729063363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-65325953622538625872016-07-11T12:32:14.086-04:002016-07-11T12:32:14.086-04:00Yes, Tom and Daisy also represent the rise of Trum...Yes, Tom and Daisy also represent the rise of Trumpism, more than they resemble in any way the Clintons. Tom is a follower of early white supremacist writings and is very concerned about (ugh) immigrants.<br /><br /><b>"Civilization's going to pieces," broke out Tom violently. "I've gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things. Have you read 'The Rise of the Colored Empires' by this man Goddard?"<br /><br />... "This fellow has worked out the whole thing. It's up to us, who are the dominant race, to watch out or these other races will have control of things."</b><br /><br />Tom is a prattler about the rights and duties of husbands while being unfaithful--Clinton was unfaithful but never a prig or a preacher of patriarchalism. aimaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956073425680585780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-64770672071852268632016-07-11T11:37:06.807-04:002016-07-11T11:37:06.807-04:00Seems like it was only yesterday
