Your front page headline, December 14: " DePetro protest expands ". I don't see Depetro setting a new , unacceptable low for reactionary talk radio in Rhode Island. If this campaign of dubious liberals and phony " friends of labor " Democrats succeeds in getting the daffy " Independent Man " fired , the capitalist owners of his radio station WPRO will replace him with Depetro-Light. It would make more sense for offended " progressive " listeners to demand more uninterrupted air-time not controlled by the right-wing talk show host. The Left seems to forget this truth: the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class. To be sure, American fascism could have fine manners and polite speech.
For years now " political correctness "- a diversion from the class war- has been putting a big chill on public debate. Isn't it important to know what very many people really think and feel about controversial issues ? Should not even genuine " hate " be allowed to vent ? It seems that even bourgeois democracy is fading in the lands of Western Civilization. Both the Left and the Right distrust the common people. Free minds do not fear ideas . Truth itself is revolutionary !
