The Nation, the Idea and the Will of Good People Tuesday, July 04, 2017 By William Rivers Pitt

36. oh yeah, it sure does show he is uninformed. On the first point when he called President

Obama: "Fuck you, Mr. President, you piece of shit used-car salesman. From my heart and soul, fuck you."

That whole diatribe of his was based falsehoods, and his wife was in fact covered for what he claimed she was not. People within that rant pointed out to him that he was wrong, but he refused to listen at the time, or even look into the actual coverage, because if he did, instead of using it as an excuse to rail against President Obama he would have found out he was covered.

As to the second point, when he refused to vote for Hillary Clinton in the general election, I will let Noam Chomsky, who is far more articulate, and not a "drama queen", as Mr. Pitt so often is, speak to that:

"Progressives who refused to vote for Hillary Clinton made a ‘bad mistake’"

"Legendary linguist and activist Noam Chomsky thinks that progressives and left-wingers who didn’t want to vote for Hillary Clinton this year have badly miscalculated — and will now pay a very dear price."

“I think they [made] a bad mistake,” said Chomsky, who reiterated that it’s important to keep a “greater evil” from obtaining power, even if you’re not thrilled with the alternative. “I didn’t like Clinton at all, but her positions are much better than Trump’s on every issue I can think of.”

Chomsky also attacked the arguments made by philosopher Slavoj Zizek, who argued that Trump’s election would at least shake up the system and provide a real rallying point for the left.

“[Zizek makes a] terrible point,” Chomsky told Hasan. “It was the same point that people like him said about Hitler in the early ’30s… he’ll shake up the system in bad ways.”

An informed political observer would have recognized the danger of a trump presidency, and the potential for a nazi Germany redux.

Mr. Pitt deserves every bit of scorn that he receives here, same as Ralph Nader, Susan Sarandon, and those others who spread the LIE that there was no difference between the two parties or candidates.
