Apartheid
Bill Bennett was bloviating again recently, as covered by Glenn Greenwald.
One thing that always touches me about Greenwald is that this guy never stops reading the ugliest right-wing blogs, like Powerline, and carefully refuting their arguments step by step. I don’t bother except when I hear Powerline’s opinions echoed in more widespread media, because to refute every obviously disgusting and ridiculous argument of theirs would be a full-time job.
Bennett is truly as vile a commentator as they come, one of the seemingly infinite political vermin that were spawned in the bowels of the Reagan presidency and set loose to scuttle across the political landscape and dig a new burrow in the radio market.
If the FCC were to actually start punishing broadcasters for lying on air Bennett would be among the first to be marched to jail.
