Too Much To Dream

I found it amazing that he could recognize the divide between the gentile elistist intelligencia and the "common folk," and poke fun at the former's attitudes about the latter -- and still not recognize where he was doing exactly the same thing. Jeez.

What's amazing is how he can't see that he doesn't have shit for credibility with so many people. It's as if after saying "If you don't agree that the war is evil, you're a blazing idiot who won't listen to his betters on an important matter like this" he's incredulous that people don't like being called idiots because they disagree with him!

But academics agree with him. Let them build bridges to each other and reassure themselves that THEY aren't hated by the Islamofacists - the rest of us poor unwashed will save his smelly ass.

Fisk is such a bigot. This sentence:

“All of a sudden, our nice anti-war chat had been brought to a halt by a spot of redneck reality. There really were right-wingers out there in the darkness who really did want George Bush to zap the Arabs.”

..is just gross. He’s basically saying that cameraman 2, a skilled, trained craftsman who is probably a union member, is a Neanderthal rising from the darkness because he disagrees with Fisk’s ‘nice anti-war chat’ – chat that consists of anti-Bush clichés and anti-Semitic propaganda.

He’s right about the intellectual left though – they don’t want to have anything to do with 'workers' like cameraman 2. Fisk thinks that right-wing types would agree with the left if they were just exposed to the brilliance of leftist intellectual thought. Cameraman 2 already proved that Fisk is full of it – when exposed to ‘nice anti-war chat’ most sensible people get disgusted, bored - or they get angry.
