"she's an activist +not interested in being honest. she is happy to provide incorrect info to further a cause but not to educate, enlighten her audience. theres a big difference. no?"
Besides the massive amount of psychologizing here, I'd say Glenn falls under a similar category as BJG. If you think he's not also an activist Idk what to tell you. He definitely has strong ideological blinders (like we all do). He may be an economist, but so is Richard Wolff, Paul Krugmann and Joseph Stiglitz. All three economists (two of whom are award winning) are to the left to varying degrees. Are you going to give their views the same legitimacy you give Loury's? I could be wrong but I don't think so, so basically in the context of this conversation none of that matters.
So falling back on her position as an activist doesn't discredit her as a truth seeker. Her being pushing historical revisionism (I personally don't think the Soviets were exceptional in WWII) doesn't negate the wide set of beliefs and policies she subscribes to either.
here's what you've convinced me from you arguments from opinion +lack of evidence: you are much much younger than glenn plus are very enamored w gray.
i am much closer in age to glenn +altho i dont usually agree w him i listen to his casts +he provides much better evidence for his arguments than either your or gray.
thnx but i don't see any point in the yo-yo back n forth. i know that we have both made our positions very clear +neither of us needs to explain our positions any further. got it? i hope so.
due to prog degenerative neuro disorder i make mistakes+deleted to edit. i made make another delete while my cat barks to get inside. my god i don't have enough frustration here
This has almost nothing to do with my comment but ok, but I guess everyone who you disagree with is either "dishonest", unwilling to be educated or fact free. Lol what shitty way to handle other people.
Here's your claim
