Malcolm Harris Responds & I Offer Him Free Beer

So after my piece about #OWS activist Malcolm Harris’s statements about Glenn Beck was posted late late last night, I went to sleep When I woke up, Steve Rhodes (@Tigetbeat on Twitter) was jumping on my shit, as the kids say. He accused me of misreading Malcolm Harris.

I got up out of bed and was responding when Malcolm Harris jumped into the conservation with one of my favorite tweets ever.

Yes. See, I thought it was pretty clear that I wasn’t wildly speculating. I was listening to what was being said. But there’s a big difference between a hard left commie anarchist like Malcolm and the weak tea liberals – Harris is honest! No bullshit there. I GREATLY prefer that.

I offered to buy Malcolm a beer when I’m in NYC. I felt a little bad about the ‘nebbish nutball’ thing although for the record, I call my son Van ‘nutball’ all the time. Harris said.

So Steve was right about one thing – I like Malcolm Harris! His politics are scary and wrong but I give him credit for being who the hell he is. Also, I’m not a banker. (For the record, I actually like Steve, too. Ask Andrew Breitbart – I like almost everybody. It’s the Unitarian in me.)

See, this is what I was saying in this post yesterday. I totally understand why radicals are down with #Occupy. They should be. And calling someone a commie isn’t an insult if they are a commie. Or whatever.

Viva la beer!
