Hmmm, I wasn't aware Oliver Stone was such a leftist in the left/right paradigm, til I saw this interview on The Young Turks. By the time I heard him admonish just the Republicans for the umteenth time, it was making me wonder where he's really coming from.

For a man so well studied as himself, he should be beyond that. Of course he does expose an awful amount of uncomfortable truths, but...

We would probably call him a Liberal here, in one of the interviews he was asked why he was so pro 'W' in his film about George Bush jnr which he denied..LOL..
Liberal in the UK is left / centre, although is a broad church. In the US dynamic he does sound democrat and he said he voted for Obama, but he did not give
me the impression to be Washington friendly to most administrations and definitely anti mil ind corporate.

Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick Discuss "The Untold History of the United States


Oliver Stone makes a comment approx 23 mins saying he came into this project
from the right and Peter from the left. Then added he went to the left further
than Peter to the right. Which probably sums up where he is now.

It was a good Q & A session and they are aware of whats going on, but at
the end when he briefly talks about bringing Bin Laden to trial, shows
he has still a bit further to go down the 'rabbit hole'...LOL..
