Do any other liberals agree with Joe Rogen who feel's like a "Man without a country"?

Joe Rogen stated recently "When I was a kid my parents were hippies and I grew up thinking that the left was all the people who were trying to stop this unjust war in Vietnam and they were trying to enable he civil rights movement to succeed and enable free speech .... that's just not the case anymore! We are in some weird down is up and up is down time. And for people like myself who do have a lot of left wing ideas, you know? (People) who do support gay marriage, who do support so many (what you would consider) left wing ideas you (now) find yourself in a place where I'm so opposed to so much of these attacks on free speech and so much of the aggressive ... bullying. It's more of a mob mentality thing, (and) it's kind of scary. The Berkly thing with Milo is scary, ... and this is all just to justify some of the crazy thing that they are doing. (for instance) smashing Starbucks windows and lighting cop cars on fire. You know, all this chaos that you are seeing, that is being perpetrated by the left (for) someone like myself, I can not identify with that (and) I DO NOT understand it, and it puts me at odds with, ... I'm like a man without a country now."

    No, I can't say I do. I find the idea that we must listen to bigotry and paranoia to be a lie in itself.

    Milo should not be encouraged, his ideas are akin to the Nazi's and shouldn't be brought forward by the Republicans party on campus under the guise of free speech. There is only so far right you can go before you bump into the Nazi/WhiteSupremacist movements. And he's already there.

    I was actually ashamed of seeing a Republican group going for it. It's not an accurate or good example of where most Republicans are.

    Nor is it an excuse for breaking a window.

    Rogen is a roids abusing right wing hack. Nobody cares about what he says.
