Comments on: #259 A discussion of the state of our culture (with swears) (Podcast) http://www.bestoftheleftpodcast.com/259-a-discussion-of-the-state-of-our-culture-with-swears-podcast/ Sun, 15 Jan 2012 15:18:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Wes Wilson http://www.bestoftheleftpodcast.com/259-a-discussion-of-the-state-of-our-culture-with-swears-podcast/comment-page-1/#comment-16850 Wes Wilson Mon, 20 Apr 2009 20:57:24 +0000 http://www.bestoftheleftpodcast.com/?p=2837#comment-16850 Thank you for publishing your show each week. I find it a refreshing alternative to the Talk Radio hysteria you hear in most radio markets. Despite my appreciation for your show, the inclusion of Wes Clark's rant against medical researchers was irresponsible. I would like for Mr. Clark to find a single scientist in the medical field who wouldn't sacrifice a limb to discover the cure to cancer. I would like for him to find a single corporate head who would give up the chance to discover the cure in favor of a treatment, when another company could go ahead with the cure and undermine all the capital funnelled into that treatment. His scenario is not logical or even slightly plausible. I see little difference between he and Glenn Beck with this theory. His tin-foil hat regarding this subject tainted every other point he made in the show. If this podcast chooses to make this kind of inane hyperbole a continuous part of the show, you will lose one listener... and perhaps others. It is much more powerful to speak the truth than to channel this kind of foolishness. Thank you for publishing your show each week.
