*Joe Bageant: please discuss's dewd's work, ideas, etc. for a bitch. Anyone admire him? Hate him? Any thoughts at all? I am surprised he has come up on this list. He has some rabid followers, from what I understand.*
>From what I've seen of him, Miz B,, he's somewhat of a left populist who's
pretty high on the "leftists sholdn't write off working class White folks"
line. Most of his missives have appeared in CounterPunch and Dissident Voice
in the past.
Personally, I have no like or dislike of him, other than the fact that he tends to ignore race and racial politics a bit much.
Here's a bit of a sampling of some of his columns:
Carpooling With Adolph Eichman (Dissident Voice) http://www.dissidentvoice.org/May05/Bageant0523.htm
Redneck Liberation Theology: Why Are Leftests So Afraid of God? (CounterPunch) http://www.counterpunch.org/bageant04282007.html
Hope that helps.
