Here's the truth about this wannabe David Horowitz: Q: So what do you say now when people start ranting about capitalism’s dying days? A: People have been ******* saying that my whole life. I like my life, and I don’t really want to change. I don’t need society to be dismantled. I don’t want to feel guilty about the things I have. I have a 32-inch high-def flat-screen TV. I ******* love that thing, man. So says Said Sayrafiezadeh in a New York Magazine interview His newly published memoir “When Skateboards Will Be Free” recounts his youthful misfortunes as the son of two members of the Socialist Workers Party in Dickensian terms. Like Oliver Twist, he was on the receiving end of Fagin-like parents forcing Marxist politics down his throat while denying him the constitutional right to own and love consumer goods, including a lowly skateboard. http://louisproyect.wordpress.com/200...
