Oh Mike please! His viewpoints and postulations are diametrically opposed or completely foreign to those of the average American. I'll agree that there are Americans who follow him, but most others are not, and never will be on the same page as him. That is not slander. His words may sound like white light to some, to others' ears they sound like complete falsehoods and hatred. Don't get me started on the many examples I could provide because it would go on endlessly. To simplify, most Americans still are not Communists and they know why they are not communists and do not want to be communists. Most Americans still do not think their government is evil and the source of all evil in the world and do not think they deserve to be attacked and killed by terrorists. You love him and think he is a wise oracle because your beliefs probably conform with his. They don't with most Americans. I'll never understand why so many on the left are always exhorting everyone to understand the many cultures of other countries but yet have no respect or consideration for the culture of those in the U.S.
