CrossTalk: Demon Democracy

On this edition of Peter Lavelle's CrossTalk, he asks his guests why the US is so intent on global democracy promotion and why it tends to yield untended (and mostly negative) consequences.

This Allan Nairn actually speaks sense, truth with logic & substance.

It's been a long time people speak & understand sense.

A refreshing change.

Nairn's right. Especially when he talked about Haiti. How would people react if Bill Clinton went to Haiti and was arrested by the govt. for being a war criminal? He participates in a coup to oust Aristede. Then, Obama sends him in as a "goodwill ambassador" after the earthquake. How is that not adding insult to injuriy?

I couldn't enjoy anything more than seeing that American brainwashed propagandist lee getting annoyed irritated and tense as Allan kept spewing these fact straight in his face and he just could not take it! He must have not slept that night thinking maybe he should have not showed up to this who and made fool of himself!!!

@Costign ahh yes, that makes more sense, I was just being sarcastic for the hell of it halfways anyways it's good to see you get the gist of the pros and cons of the various sites and casts

[Costign]

@noobler9 I said that while so long as you're a guest on this show you can say what you like about anybody else corruption but as soon as you say something negative about Russia, which is a dungeon for free speech, the host will try to quiet you down. This is too bad ...but RT is nothing like Fox news.

I mean Allan Nairn is one of the greatest investigative journalists out there! He's the only really intelligent person in this discussion.

[noobler9]

@Costign russia is a bad place full of bad opinions that are wrong and bad talk shows that are even worse than fox "news"

hah! whatcha gonna do about it, russkiy?

oh noes look I'm criticizing russia on the internet, costign will panic if I do! lol

[noobler9]

jesus christ did the same guy just say "nono let him talk, let him finish" and then interrupts the crap out of him, what the hell are these guys?

[MrFrago666]

They should call this show "CrossTalk" since everyone is trying to talk over everyone else :)

wow, you just shot yourself in the foot.

Alan Nairn is one of the most well-spoken human rights activist in the world. He never backs down, he speaks the truth with facts to back them up, and he's incredibly courageous. The academic from Boston had nothing to contribute and the other panelist was an absolute joke. Based on his posturing and his background I would have to presume he's just a Washington cocksucker.
