Related: About this forumThom Hartmann vs. Dinesh D'Souza: Baby Boomers are Spoiled Brats!
From the June 9 Thom Hartmann Program: Thom Hartmann debates Dinesh D'Souza, Conservative Writer & Scholar / former policy analyst in the Reagan White House / Author of numerous books including his latest, America: Imagine a World Without Her
Website: http://www.dineshdsouza.com/
The Baby Boomers part came in the last third of this interview. The first third was about liberalism, conservatism, and "forward" policies that help average people like civil rights, 40-hour work week, etc. The next third was D'Souza's suggestion that segregation was intended to protect African-Americans. And on Baby Boomers, DDS just WENT OFF about the children of the '60s being spoiled and having it too good in life.
And Thom stayed away from questions about D'Souza's campaign finance case.

walking to school ... uphill both ways ... without shoes ... in snow.

distance back and forth to high school. Her younger sisters were lucky: they had a school bus by then, and still walked an unheard of distance, by current standards, to CATCH the bus.

(12,482 posts)5. I've spent most of my life in poverty, grew up in a single
parent home in government housing, was conscripted into the Vietnam War and struggled for whatever I now have. Dinesh D'Souza, I invite you to compare your life experience with mine. And if you have the guts to do it in front of me I just might mistake you for a Viet Cong.
What do you expect from a guy who put his tongue in Ann Coulter's mouth and other unmentionable places?
