Bennish's lawyer, David Lane (who also represents Ward Churchill)stated on either the Pete Boyles or Caplis and Silverman Show on 630KHOW that Bennish had not provided "balance" in this particular lecture. So, Bennish flat lied to (or seriously misled) Lauer on the Today Show that the 22 minutes of tape were "out of context", and that balance had been provided. So, Bennish, when, exactly, WERE you going to provide that balance?
Bennish did an interview on the Pete Boyles show this morning. He didn't get the Matt Lauer softball questions though. It was just pathetic. He basically said he stood for nothing. He had no opinion. All those things he said were merely to keep the students awake, because they get bored and need to be stimulated mentally. He used the term "cognitive dissonance" as a teaching tool frequently.
Boyles brought up something interesting. He said that several students had said that Bennish bragged about being a Rastafarian, and had an Ethiopian flag hung in the classroom. Bennish would neither confirm or deny.
Bennish got pretty testy during the interview. Pete Boyles did a great job of asking the questions Lauer chose not to, or frankly, didn't have the brains to think of.
Matt was too busy setting the ball back on the T-ball stand for the little commie.
So, he's a stoner, too. Why doesn't that surprise me?
