Not very left, but more than the average Republican. Don't know what happened - I was somewhat surprised myself when he supported Beck in some thread there last year or so.

Elaborate.  Stonewall, pissed me off back in 2004 when supported the swift boat thing, which I felt was beneath him.  He and Dark Knight were posting stuff about that left and right.

Well, he's more liberal towards the average criminal or defendant than the average Republican, since he was a public defender or something.

What about Beck did he support?  That we should hoard food?  That the world in controlled by a Jewish financier?  That liberals are in fact Nazis?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The Norwegian kids massacred by Breivik were like Hitler Jugend?

There is so much crazy to choose from.  Beck apparently ranted against some group called "The Tides Foundation", and the next thing you know some crazy went out there and tried shoot the place up.

I've no idea what that is but from connotation it seems like something Mart would be, not me.

Yeah, I never made claim to that. Why would I?

Well...

gay : check
urban : check
bourgeois...

Quote1: of, relating to, or characteristic of the social middle class
2: marked by a concern for material interests and respectability and a tendency toward mediocrity

totally possible but again why would I?

In spite of your pretentions otherwise, you don't have enough class to be bourgeois.

I think I can tend towards mediocrity. :P

Although, perhaps the three of you have a positive view of the bourgeois.

Don't remember. Maybe the gold bug stuff, although most EUOT posters seem to support that.

Why would one have a negative view?
