it's disgusting that he's listened to and admired by anyone on the left. what a bunch of whores the counterpunchers are.
Furthermore it's beyond condescending to assume that Iranians and Georgians are so stupid that they're simply pawns in the hands of the evil U.S. And after all, they have nothing legitimate to protest in their respective paradises.
