and he gives it to them. He's worse than stupid. He's a cynical, vicious man who spreads hate in exchange for money.

Angry white people who think minorities and gays are getting all the goodies and favors is what is behind ALL rightwing ideology.

Every white person who is not an American Taliban aka TeaParTY moron is OBLIGATED to preach to the idiots that their agenda is ugly and full of hate.

He's just a failed journalist who happened upon a fantastic money making scam.

Find out what the hicks want to hear and say it to them - loudly, emphatically, and repeatedly.

I tried to read his book, "Who's looking out for you." It's an interesting idea, that can be useful but should be taken with a grain of salt. The book however was terrible. He talks about how he and his friend shared a car to go to a conference in Aspen, CO. Evidently, the guy was a little cheap and wouldn't pay for the parking. But Bill got all upset and decided to dump his friend. This is one example of the tantrums this jerk displays on a regular basis. This guy is just a reactionary and shouldn't be writing books or commenting on anything.

He's one of those people who should have the weight of the universe fall on his head. He really is a terrible person who deserves to suffer in the worst possible way as his existence is removed from the universe.
