Not long ago, many of them were monitoring and making comments about me from Liberty Post.
He didn't allow it, even tacitly. The newsletter was published independently of him, though it did carry his name. He didn't write it, he didn't approve it, he didn't have anything to do with it.
He did, however, take moral responsibility for the stories due to the fact that they were published on a newsletter bearing his name. He obviously doesn't believe the things in it, and certainly is no racist.
Let me not mince words. Jamie is a muckraker, a charlatan, and a hypocrite. For being so careless about concealing all these, he is a fool to boot. His bottom-feeding journalism dishonors The New Republic's history as a bastion of high-minded political discourse. His story was deliberately timed to inflict maximum political damage on a man of such uncommonly principled integrity that he is attacked for statements written decades ago by others in his name.The cheering in this thread for a dishonest, leftist politicial character assasin makes my stomach turn. I didn't read the whole thread, but I know not everyone stooped to that level, so thank you to those of you who can think for yourselves and not be a part of smearing someone for political reasons.
