MSNBC editor and political columnist Zeeshan Aleem recently penned the latest in the virtual cavalcade of pieces we’ve seen of late from Democratic Party apologists warning that “populist” left figures like Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi and Jimmy Dore have been “flirting” with the populist right.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the very real dangers this kind of “flirtation” can lead to.
