Remember activist lawyer William Kunstler? He was great.
Recall when he dumped a pitcher of ice water and this RW student jerk? (That jerk probably got a job in DC later on).

1. I think
I've seen his blog a few times--if it's the right guy. Cluster Fuck nation, I believe is the name of it. A lot of ranting, intelligent ranting, about the burbs and our car culture not being sustainable.

2. WK died in the 1990s
He was a civil rights attorney famous back in the day.

4. dont idealize kunstler
he was a demagogue with very tenuous respect for the truth
a hired gun there is such a lawyer in France today, friend of Pol Pot,
this lawyer's name is Verge, very murky alliances whose hatred of the west makes him as nutty as our nuts
kunstler, like the black panthers, like ortega in nicaragua, like many radical groups were themselves stalinist thugs
of course they were up against american right wing but don't idealize these people

5. Welcome to DU
Perhaps you should read a few more threads before you decide who we think are "nuts" and why.
