American Thinker has an interesting quiz: can you tell the difference between comments made by Bill Moyers and David Duke? I couldn’t. It’s difficult to tell from reading through these sample quotes which man is more truly Anti-Semitic.The difference, of course, is that David Duke hasn’t, to the best of my knowledge, grown rich off of taxpayer-supported public television.
One of the most amazing transformations I’ve ever seen is the one in which Bill Moyers went from being a boot-licking toady in Lyndon Johnson’s administration to America’s self-appointed moral philosopher in residence. A knee-jerk leftist who spews his vitriol in a slight western twang, and buttresses his creed with intellectual props such as Noam Chomsky, he has developed a bizarre style of discourse which draws deeply on religious imagery to attack, among other things, religion (not all religion, of course; he is sometimes perplexed by Islam, but has always reserved his genuine ire for fundamentalist Christians and, increasingly, Jews).
How long would Moyers last in an environment that was not government-subsidized? I, for one, think it’s long past time to find out.

Most of PBS jumped the shark years ago. Moyer is the grossest example of that, but he's not alone.
ReplyDeleteI never listen or read anything the man has to say. It's too aggravating.
ReplyDeleteBill who? Oh, yeah, that old whiner.
ReplyDeleteHe's still a boot licking toady and he always was the Conscience of America... to the left.....
Welcome, Cargosquid!
ReplyDeleteMoyers fronts so much foundation money he will never be thrown off PBS. It's his personal vanity video press.
