1. What an extraordinary presentation by Chris Hedges! Thank you, marmar,

for posting his talks on DU.

I've watched practically every talk he's given, and this is one I'd not seen.

There are many DUers who have only the ugliest things to say about this man, who espouses the values that all who call themselves "progressives" should claim.

Hedges tells it like it is, sparing no one, Republican nor Democrat, in our broken political system.

I suspect that the reason some DUers don't like him is that he refuses to worship at the throne of "All Things Obama". They conveniently forget that when Republicans marched in lockstep with GW, we found it odious. When we do it, not so much.
