Customer Reviews
Hi Dana
hello dana:
bernie sanders described aptly how i feel about the middle east. there is no room for antisemitism or any other violent rhetoric. Bernie makes this clear.
So far as Trump and Maga folks are concerned they use the situation as a political lever….. like Trump most of them don’t even know who Fredrick Douglas is, let alone Rabbi Leo Baeck
i’m sure they’d say the same of progressives such as myself or bernie. A sort of ideological circular debate.
Trump represents the Spirt of our times to a large extent. Again i’m sure his ilk would argue the opposite. netanyahu is nothing like Trump but in my view he is also a Titan and not an Olympian.
Another of Trump’s appeal to his base is that of a “bad boy.” Resentment and inferiority feelings might be a common denominator with Hitler and his base. Trump’s appeal is to the shadow of American society, as was Hitler’s to Germany in his day. But Trump’s appeal is quite shallow by comparison. He doesn’t carry the numinous aura of an archetype, which instills fear and trembling. In our time superficial is popular, much more than profound or visionary, and that’s why he’s successful to the degree he is. This is the nature of postmodernity. Trump is, in a sense, a man of these times. Maybe he does belong on the cover of Time magazine after all. He represents well the spirit of these times.” Murray Stein
I don’t agree with everything Bernie says, but Bernie forces us to check our projections. Having Bernie uncomfortable for you, i can tell. but it’s brave and a good start. nice work Dana.

Terrible journalism
I like Jake Tapper that he does an excellent job with the follow up questions and doing his homework on his guest. Diana bash just kind of seems to ask questions and allows them to make false statements without any follow up or correction.
