If the interviewer mumbles "yeah" "yep" or "uh huh" again. I am going to rip my ears off!

Howard Zinn is one of the few people who see things clearly, unlike those who are brainless conservatives who suck up to anything the 'wheels' want them to think is 'correct'. I love Howard's 'Incorrectness' because it is nothing other than the ethical and rational truth that, if seen and acted on, can benefit us all.

Marvelous fellow, clearly given to truth and justice instead of the usual self-justifying crap of Big Money, Big Weapon producers, Big Corporations and the usual redneck nonsense so beloved of the dipstick so-called conservatives.

Love me some Howard Zinn! Peace to him, wherever he is now, and to his family.

@kaljr82 I'd like to rip his head off first. but yeah same idea

[gamerunknown]

Looks like the principle of concision is in play here: not sure whether it was the manager or his own conscience, but whenever Zinn was doggedly pursuing a good point, the interviewer interrupted or went to a commercial break...
