Howard Zinn - an American mahatma

The death of Howard Zinn has prompted reflection on the historian, philosopher and activist. Best known for "A People's History of the United States," Zinn's thinking influenced a generation of Americans. His last published work was highly critical of Barack Obama, whom he predicted would have a failed presidency.

We've lost a real patriot.

@Gulfporter Yeah, well, that's Horowitz. I've never heard that asshole say anything I thought was more than superficial and tight assed. He always seemed to me right up there with W.H. Buckley on the conservative weirdo scale. This quote lends support to my opinion. Thanks

"There is absolutely nothing in Howard Zinn's intellectual output that is worthy of any kind of respect," Horowitz declared in the NPR story. "Zinn represents a fringe mentality which has unfortunately seduced millions of people at this point in time. So he did certainly alter the consciousness of millions of younger people for the worse."

Should have died in North Korea. Then he might have appreciated the freedoms he took for granted here. Filthy commie.

@ednoisin: There are plenty of white Americans who are decent and good human beings. I think they are just drowned out by loud voices of the crazies and the rhetoric of the elite.

TrooperRaven, Howard Zinn is one of these rare white americans with a conscience towar decency, making one wonder that perhaps white america does indeed have soul; one not necesserally sold to satan. RIP Mr. Zinn and join other brave human beings like William Lloyd Garrison. Be Blessed, Peace and Shalom

People like TrooperRaven always get outsmarted

Howard Zinn died yesterday afternoon so expect to see a lot of liberals burning their American flags at half-mast today.

At least he didn't have to sit through Obama's State of the Union speech.

Cause of death: Bleeding heart.
