        I am watching the HBO movie on Truman (based on McCullough's) book...the way he has to deal with McCarthy and his bigotry/attacks is quite the parallel to what is going on today.

          I don't think this sh-t ever works, but, trying at least.

          And it reminds me of the greatest political ad in history.

                  There is a strong parallel in the overall idea: reducing humans to poisonous food.

                  But yes, the core of the analogy -- some of them are poison so would you risk eating them? -- is not the same as the Jewish mushrooms in which every one of them is poison.

                  Carrying the analogy out, though, and correcting it for the actual frequency involved -- we do this all the time. We let babies grow up even though some percentage of them will grow up to be murderers. Women, against all reasonable calculation of expected value, go out with men even though a vastly higher percentage of those men will wind up beating, raping, or killing them.

                  Yes, life is dangerous. Yes, some Syrian immigrants will be radicalized and some will even commit criminal or terrorist acts. But so will white people born here -- should we deport them? And the vast majority of Syrian refugees are huddled masses yearning to breath free, the main ingredient in America.

                      You realize Chris Hayes isnt the one who came up with the parallel right?

                      And while I respect your opinion I am going to say you are wrong and just leave it at that. I know you wont agree so I feel like going further than that wont do us any good and will only inflame things.

                          Who had 6 days in the birther pool?

                          http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/...&ICID=ref_fark

                          Today Trump didn't quite recant his recantation of birtherism. But in practice he did. When asked why he said President Obama was born in the United States he said this.

                          "Well, I just wanted to get on with, you know, we want to get on with the campaign. And a lot of people were asking me questions. And you know, we want to talk about jobs, we want to talk about the military. We want to talk about ISIS and how to get rid of ISIS. We want to really talk about bringing jobs back to this area because you've been decimated. So we really want to get just back onto the subject of jobs, military, taking care of our vets, et cetera."
                          So he doesn't say he believes it, just that he wanted people to stop asking him about his crazy crap.

                            I am sure he will tell us Hillary recanted first

                            In other news: Drumpf May Not Be Beholden to Wall Street But He Sure Is In Bed With Outside Interests In Other Countries

                            "KURT EICHENWALD: It’s huge.

                            I mean, it basically traces into virtually every major non-European area of the world. And when you have someone who has conflicts of interest in India and Azerbaijan, in Russia, in China, in Turkey, in — you know, the list just keeps going on and on and on — in the Philippines.

                            I mean, there was a point where I just had to stop, because I couldn’t keep — you know, I only had 5,000 words to tell this story, and the number of conflicts would go on — fill an a entire issue of “Newsweek.”

                            JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, what’s an example of a conflict? Because, among other things, you say Donald Drumpf is not a builder. You call him a licenser.

                            What does that mean?

                            KURT EICHENWALD: Well, for the last decade or so, Donald Drumpf hasn’t been building anything. He’s been on “The Apprentice” and he’s been selling his name, sort of like Hilton Hotels sells its name.

                            And so he’s been basically selling his name out to people who will pay him, without, apparently, a lot of due diligence into who these people are. I mean, a great example is, he has a deal right now with a fellow in Azerbaijan whose father is a major government official who has been identified by American intelligence as money laundering for the Iranian military.

                            So, you have now Donald Drumpf, if he’s president of the United States, he’s got conflicts in Azerbaijan, and he is somebody who his business partner’s father is linked to some pretty bad things.

                            What does he do? What’s his interest? How does he approach it?"
