We were having a discussion in law class today about social injustice, particularly how CEOs get 10 million dollar bonuses after laying off 20,000 workers.

Many years ago, when he had that show on MSNBC, I used to call in and heckle his agenda. I got him to say some pretty outrageous stuff on the air about gay rights and birth control. Anyway, when he started running in Illinois, he was campaigning at Union Station one day. This was back when I lived in the suburbs, so I commuted daily. On my way home, I saw him shaking hands and stuff and I couldn't resist. I walked up to him and asked if he remembered my voice. He said he didn't, but who would? Anyway, when the cameras were on, I managed to engage him in a five-minute debate about healthcare, women's rights, and religion in schools. I pushed him so far over to the right that he effectively implied that poor people don't deserve healthcare, public schools should have a religion class, and the woman's place was in the kitchen. If I wasn't late for my train, I probably could have stayed another five minutes and he would have insisted that the jews control the media. It was probably the most fun I've had all year, but what part of that whole interaction do you think the local Fox news channel ran? Me shaking hands with Alan Keys at the end of the discussion. I got so many calls the next day from my liberal friends the next day, I had to turn off my phone at work.
