Tucker is the worst kind of offender because he knows full well what he's doing and doesnt give a farg of a shtein.

at least someone like hannity is too stupid to know hes caught up in the game

Powerful.

We must confront these uncomfortable truths of our nation's history to move closer to those ideals many like to present to the world.  We must deal with them to even begin the restorative process.  Unfortunately, I doubt that will ever happen.  Not in my lifetime, anyway.

Igy's right.  Read it.

Every time I read one of his pieces I always hear his voice in my head.
