Mancow is a NEOCON

Why did Alex have that goofball on? Israel will be nuked?? The government is going after Christians? We should do racial profiling in airports? This is the same guy that laughs at Alex while Alex is on his show. f**k him

Just because you don't agree with someone on everything or even a lot of issues there is nothing wrong with having them on. He was on because he ran the tea party in Chicago.

He is not a neo-con, although he isn't perfect. I don't know if he was for racial-profiling, but he points out that if arabs are really a threat then why is the government not going after them.

You're too polite - he's a ridiculous arsehole. He's also a liar and L/R paradigm merchant, despite what he claims.

He willfully misrepresents and exaggerates, distorts etc - nothing he said today is reliable even though it's mixed with half-truths and the odd truth. For example he scornfully said that Hillary wants to build up Somalia and give them money and compensation as a solution to the piracy (what a great idea imo - that might actually work). But Hillary said no such thing - the reconstruction element in her stupid "plan" was a very minor addendum in response to criticism that the focus had shifted too much to military countermeasures.

So I agree, Madcow is full of bullshit.

The man had a show on FOX news attacking 9/11 truth! Of course he is starting to sound reasonable now because a Democrat is in office but if McCain would of won would all these neocons would be supporting anti-government groups? Hell no, they are a bunch of sore losers who now are trying to take over the real movement that doesnt deal with their fake left/right bs scam.

You bring up an interesting point. Where did the term "racial profiling" come from and why is it reason that all citizens must be submitted to suspicion?

Racial profiling is nothing new:

http://civilliberty.about.com/od/lawenforcementterrorism/tp/History-of-Racial-Profiling.htm

However, the term is:

"In 1988 racial profiling - the term, not the practice - was unknown. By 2000, twelve years later, everyone in the United States, from George Bush to Jesse Jackson, knew about racial profiling and agreed that it is anathema. In this paper I review the brief and turbulent public career of racial profiling: its origins in hijacker and drug courier profiling, its flowering as a central aspect of drug interdiction on the highway, the ultimately successful efforts to expose and end that practice, and the political backlash it unleashed. Since 1999, no major American political figure has risked endorsing racial profiling, not even after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, although some programs they support fit the definition. Now that it is an acknowledged evil, many police departments work hard to avoid claims of racial profiling, while on the other side complainants in a host of contexts use the term to describe an extraordinary range of conduct. Along the way racial profiling may have become less common, but it has not disappeared."

I now understand that "word games" are most definitely used as a psychological ploy to sway and control popular public opinion. Brevity & repetition will subconsciously lead one to belief they have formed their own opinion when in fact, they have not.

The reason I mention "racial profiling" and that the term didn't exist prior to 1988, is that if the intention was to secretly break down the borders of a nation that was next to another nation where the populations were primarily of different races, it may explain where the term "racial profiling" came from and why it was created. The issue of sovereignty is subconsciously confused with race.

I have listened to Mancow for a long time, in waves. THe thing that troubles me about Mancow is how easily he mixes together standard neocon propaganda with tantalizing references to anti-NWO signifiers. Even when he came to Chicago in 94 and began his syndicated show from here, he was dropping in references to the New World Order and foreign troops in America. Later, he began having Pastor David J. Smith call in and discuss these things. Of course, a lot of that was disinformation. At the same time he'd be promoting Rush or other neocon types. He claims to be a libertarian, yet promoted the War on Terra and he continues this to this day -- even worse since he became a Fox commentator. He is great friends with host Roe Conn (a fellow WLS host and Fox commentator whose views are down-the-line neocon, and of whom I often think: "If this guy's not already a paid CIA disinfo agent, he really should go apply.")

OH yeah. on his local show last Friday, Mancow was ridiculing the 9/11 truth movement. He has also rolled right along with this ridiculous neocon meme of claiming Obama is a "secret radical Muslim." I say DTMFA.
