  • Wild Wild Left Radio #158 Billy Wharton SPUSA Interview
    Tonight I will be interviewing Billy Wharton, co-chair of the Socialist Party USA, and editor of the "Socialist Webzine."
    He has been an outspoken critic of Obama, "he may in fact not even be a liberal. Socialists understand him more as a hedge-fund Democrat -- one of a generation of neoliberal politicians firmly committed to free-market policies." he penned in 2009 to a but of notoriety in his article, "Obama's No Socialist. I Should Know."  
    I'll be asking about the campaign, about Obamacare and how to move the Country to a REAL Socialist agenda.

  • Wild Wild Left Radio #157 Anything goes....
    Unlike last week, with too much to talk about?  This week I have no idea what I will talk about.  Maybe I'll talk about my favorite subject:  ME!  LOL.  It sure cuts down on the research.
    Its been a seriously busy week in stress land, but I will slap something together.  I guess we could take a look at ideological breakdowns on the Left - you know, the Obamabots vs the Anarchist purists vs the 3rd party hopefuls... yadda.
    Call in, tonight, anything goes...

  • Wild Wild Left Radio #156 A Week in the War on Us.
    Some weeks, there is douchetopic overload, and this be one of them.
    MI wages its war on women, and muzzles its own female Politicians.
    The State Department let a citizen rot in an Israeli jail overnight, for not being Jewish.
    They are putting the ultimate weapon above our own heads, drones are us!
    The Supreme Court killed Habeas Corpus.
    Obama tells China, You are free to pollute here!
    They are lying (again) outright to get us into war with Syria
    And the rich want us to work until we drop dead.

  • Wild Wild Left Radio #154 Kill Lists and Zombies
    May was the month of the flesh eaters, apparently... all kinds of sick and twisted cannibalism stories in the news.
    Further proof that people will swallow anything?  Obama publicizes his "Kill List" as "moral" and people are eating it up like the Zombies we are becoming.
    Lets see. Bush tortures and its "Crucify Him!"  Obama flat out murders, and its "Vote for HIm!"  I'm fairly positive Romney can't one up this.  Maybe he could, I mean whats next "Enemies of the State as Soylent Green?"
    I feel a rant coming on.  Come join me!

  • Wild Wild Left Radio #153 US Strategy: Murder and Entrapment
    Young Black men are being murdered with seeming impunity by vigilantes and pigs.  This is 18 year old Alan Blueford.  Shot in the back running from cops who jumped them with guns drawn.  Unarmed, innocent, waiting for some girls to go watch a boxing match.
    Protestors are being abused by the droves.
    Now?  Speaking against the assassinations and brutality is considered assault on an officer?
    This is the strategy of a Nation in fear of its own, a nation no longer served by its Leaders, but imprisoned by them.
    This, my friends is the Class war escalating....
    Join me to rail against the machine.

  • Wild Wild Left Radio #150 Rocky Anderson Interview
    I am proud to be interviewing another of the US's finest this Friday.  Rocky Anderson is the Presidential Candidate for the Justice Party.  A former Democrat, (like most of us) he defected from their ranks, stating, "The Constitution has been eviscerated while Democrats have stood by with nary a whimper. It is a gutless, unprincipled party, bought and paid for by the same interests that buy and pay for the Republican Party." RIGHT ON!!!!

  • Wild Wild Left Radio #149 Left on Left Violence
    Happy 4/20 Everyone!  Tonight we'll see whats on the ballot for November in the Pot Department to start out....  if only we could be so chilled as the kind bud makes us.
    In the meantime?  We need to discuss what Socialism IS and IS NOT; and how even the Left attacks the very notion of it, repeating absurd memes and how the word triggers Pavlovian fear-responses even in the most otherwise sensible of Lefties.
    Also, we will be addressing the 99 Obama-Spring co-opting, and the struggles with the divisions within Occupy itself.
    Dudes, can't we all get along???
