I have heard that before..."Why do you hate me personally? Its not you..its all you _____(nasty label). "

They can see the trees for the forest or visa versa.

Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frazier_Glenn_Miller,_Jr.

This guy founded the "White Patriot Party" and has run for office in North Carolina as both a Democrat and Republican. He's been an independent since the late '80s.

I can call Glenn Miller a:
- Carpetbagger
- Racist
- Thug
- Bigot
- Freak
- Psychopath

Based on what I know about him.

He can't erase that interview.

I remember viewing it here in DU shortly after it aired.

He gave him a mic to air that filth.

I know he thought he was doing the right thing at the time. I know he is Jewish.

There are plenty of folks who try to say that racism and anti-semitism are no longer issues in this country.

It helps to get reminders every now and then that show how this is not true. I am not sure whether I would have had this guy on my show. I would have had to think about it a lot. But I understand what I think to be Pakman's reasoning.

of these little thugs out there, and according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, more all the time.

Jails can be a good thing.

15. Condemns Jews for his own act that he is proud of committing

Interesting that Miller condemns Jews for convicting him of the felony that he is proud of committing. You'd think he would commend the Jews for officially acknowledging the act that he is proud of committing.
