(25,699 posts)You want to present a claim to me, and then back out. So far you're at least consistent in that sort of behavior.
The problem is that you are bringing a Cato contributor - and a Forbes contributor, and a WaPo contributor - here to espouse neoliberal economic ideology. This is what Cato revolves around, total deregulation, rule by "free Market magic." Whatever thread you're going on about with Glenn Greenwald pretty certainly revolves around warrant-less government surveillance.
Do you understand that there is a difference between bringing an advocate of neoliberal economics to DU to advocate neoliberal economics, and bringing a different advocate of neoliberal economics to DU to advocate an end to warrant-less government surveillance of its citizens?
That is, Lee's goofy-right economics and association with a goofy-right economic "think tank" are relevant to your use of him to advocate goofy-right economics. Greenwald's goofy-right economics do not have a bearing on his opposition to government surveillance.
Now, if I'm wrong and that thread you won't show me is 233 recs for right-wing economics, again by all means, show me. I will be duly puzzled.
