MARKOS MOULITSAS at Town Hall Seattle

10/03/2010 7:30 pm
Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. Markos Moulitsas, liberal pundit and founder/publisher of Daily Kos, argues that on tactics and issues there is little distinction between the Taliban and the American Radical Right: "Both embrace militaristic zeal, elevation of brute masculinity, disdain for women's rights, outright hatred of gays, aversion to science and modernity, and staunch anti-intellectualism. Both movements are dedicated to the unbridled pursuit of power at all costs, have little patience for the trappings of democracy ..." His new book, American Taliban: How War, Sex, Sin, and Power Bind Jihadists and the Radical Right (Polipoint Press), delivers a wry, searing broadside to the conservative movement. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m. or in advance via www.brownpapertickets.com (1-800-838-3006). Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (entry downstairs on Seneca). Preferred seating for Town Hall members. For more information on this evening, please call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600, Town Hall Seattle at (206) 652-4255, or see www.townhallseattle.org.
