This is just a quick link to follow -- an "aside." These are links to interesting things that, for one reason or another, I didn't place into a full posting. Click the link to visit the full article. Go to the blog index for a regular listing of posts.
WSJ: J. Edgar Moyers, The TV moralist's government record - 'One of the darker periods of modern American history was J. Edgar Hoover's long reign over the FBI, as we have learned since he died in 1972. So it is more than a historical footnote to discover new records showing that prominent public television broadcaster Bill Moyers participated in Hoover's exploits...'
Go figure.
He may complain about "the waning days of his innocence" and so forth but the fact is his moralizing smacks of real bigotry.
One wouldn't have thought this and might have passed it off as a sign of the times during the bad old days but for his recent comments about Jews, which he then tried to rationalize.
I hope my fellow Democrats will think long and hard about the sources of such "criticism" and see if maybe they aren't of a piece with a world view which is actually quite unprogressive and which reeks furthermore of hypocrisy.
Isn't it all the more difficult to take this stuff from people who pretend to be liberals?
As if.
