He's one Bad Ass mother fucker. He's also one of the only real journalists in today's world. Host of The Young Turks webcast, this is the real progressive message.

And damn, he's coming.

I haven't read any of his stuff. Mostly because, what the hell was he thinking when he joined a group named after the people who did the Armenian genocide?

1) He made it.

2) They didn't "Do it" The Ottoman Government did. By the time of the Armenian genocide from what I gather the Young Turk movement of the previous decade had been fractured. None of the Young Turk philosophies advocates genocide.

3) Frankly I find it a little ignorant to judge the guy when you haven't heard him at all.

Again. The CPU and TYT worked with several ethnic enclaves, like the Armenians, to bring forth liberal, progressive ideas. After the Young Turk revolution, the lose of a common political enemy fractured the movement and nationalistic parties that wanted a 'pan-turkish state' grabbed power.

The CPU was the perpetrator of the Armenian genocide, and the CPU was not the Young Turk movement.
