    Hey US media folks, here, I would argue immodestly, is how you interview a Trump supporter on Trump's lies:

    I'm an atheist and pro-choice, so not on the same page as Hasan, but I cannot comprehend why you'd go after him of all people, nor why you'd do it now. He's long been a vocal critic of Islamic extremism, and his profile is rising now due to excellent, fact-intensive interviews.

    On the latest , I asked Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, whether he supports a 2-state solution to the conflict. He really, really didn't want to answer me. But I'm a patient, and quite persistent, person:

    Hey Rep. Cheney, I see from your dead people comment that you get your news from Facebook memes, but the National Constitution Center + Newsweek are just two of many places where you can clarify your misunderstanding of the history of the 22nd Amendment:

    We knew the Democrats let dead people vote. According to , they can run for President, too.

    The proximate cause of Britain’s nightmare is Tory rule. If we don’t end Tory rule through a general election, the country will continue to descend into the abyss. We’re not even close to hitting the bottom.

    Masterclass in accountability for politicians who decide to dance around the question. And when they do, making them accountable for not answering the question. More of this ... 👍🏼

    "Connecticut woman says then-Vice President Joe Biden touched her inappropriately at a Greenwich fundraiser in 2009" I can't say any of these stories surprise me. This was always coming his way which is why it was so amazing he's so keen to run:

    Warren is electric in person and connects with crowds like this every day yet she rarely gets the slobbering “charisma” coverage that seems to be reserved for her colleagues who are more... what’s the word?... male.

    Warren is getting a standing ovation and the largest applause of any candidate today

    This thread is what they in Youtube terminology would call Mehdi Hasan DESTROYS Sam Harris with FACTS & LOGIC

    Now and his trollish supporters will always claim their hero is being quoted out of context. Which is funny/ironic given that's what he and they do to Muslims, including myself. But follow the links above see for yourself. It's pure bigotry and nastiness. *ENDS*

    Trump and Netanyahu Are BDS’s Best Recruiters. Their opposition to a Palestinian state and support of the never ending occupation of the Palestinian people is going to lead to one result: More people joining the BDS movement. My new article:

    A shocking record of bigotry. That Sam Harris is somehow upheld as an incisive commentator on culture/religion/identity speaks volumes of the intellectual poverty of the moment.

    Sam Harris launched a personal attack on me, cynically trying to smear me based on ancient, edited remarks I long ago disowned & have repeatedly regretted/apologized for. So here's a of 15 years of his own bigoted/offensive remarks that's he's never apologized for: 1/

    I wrote this just last night about the "Intellectual Dark Web" (lol), of which Harris is a member.

    The “intellectual dark web” is nothing more than a hate operation attempting to dress bigotry up in a three-piece suit. Sometimes, you’ll have a person of color involved. That doesn’t change that it’s a loose network of people whose actions strengthen white Christian supremacy.
