An Interview with Nat Hentoff

http://www.rutherford.org/Oldspeak/Articles/Interviews/oldspeak-Hentoff_2009.html

Nat Hentoff has had a life well spent, one chock full of controversy fueled by his passion for the protection of civil liberties and human rights. Hentoff is known as a civil libertarian, free speech activist, anti-death penalty advocate, pro-lifer and not uncommon critic of the ideological left.

At 84, Nat Hentoff is an American classic who has never shied away from an issue. For example, he defended a woman rejected from law school because she was Caucasian; called into a talk show hosted by Oliver North to agree with him on liberal intolerance for free speech; was a friend to the late Malcolm X; and wrote the liner notes for Bob Dylan's second album.

A self-described uncategorizable libertarian, Hentoff adds he is also a “Jewish atheist, civil libertarian, pro-lifer.” Accordingly, he has angered nearly every political faction and remains one of a few who has stuck to his principles through his many years of work, regardless of the trouble it stirred up. For instance, when he announced his opposition to abortion he alienated numerous colleagues, and his outspoken denunciation of President Bill Clinton only increased his isolation in liberal circles (He said that Clinton had "done more harm to the Constitution than any president in American history," and called him "a serial violator of our liberties.").

"I try to avoid hyperbole, but I think Obama is possibly the most dangerous and destructive president we have ever had."—Nat Hentoff

Hentoff is right.

People should be wondering exactly what machine is behind a neophyte jr
senator pushed to the top of a left leaning....well, lots more than "left leaning"....but anyway, there is more at work here than a prez gone dictator
with an army of minions doing his bidding.

Someone said "they know something we dont" and thats right.

Could all this be a ploy to whip us up into a frenzy so we would need to be......
controlled????????? Hmmmm......very possible. "They" would need to save
us from ourselves. You know how we cant spend our money right or make
the right decisions for ourselves....we need government to be our nanny...
:terror:...home grown!
