I myself WAS a big fan of him, but as a left-leaning libertarian who is
against the war in Iraq, the War on Terrorism, and who has actually read
how
9/11 happened in the first place, I am appalled at what he has become.
Yes
we know he has the right to believe what he believes in and has the right
to
speak out, but that doesn't make me like him!
BTW I am selling my Emmy tapes of DML on eBay:
