Michael Parenti - Dalai Lama is not all he's cracked up to be?by friendoftheworld375,177 views
Hey little guy below me, you are the one that's laughable. I'd like to see where you went to school and what grades you got. I'm sure YOU know so much more than Mr. Parenti. Point me to your great font of wisdom oh knowledgeable one, that I may drink....and puke it up. Hahahaha

It's laughable that Parenti tells people to speak the truth when he so rarely does himself.
Nearly all his "historical" research is complete fabrication. I've listened to many of his lectures and read most of his books and most of his historical assertions are based on complete fabrications.
While I'm generally willing to give someone the benefit of a doubt, given the repetitive nature of his false statements, I can only assume his deceptions are purposeful.
