He gave examples from 0:40 to 0:56. Remember, he's only talking about the 21st century, but you could apply it to other times...i guess.

I love Cornel West, but let's not forget the many "rightwing" people of various beliefs who also stand up for justice-for example, Republican Ron Paul, vehemently anti-war and pro-Constitution, who has been highly critical of the Bush administration far in advance of the Democratic party.
