I always try to read his articles. Just like Christopher Hitchins was, even if I didn’t agree with the conclusion I knew I was going to learn something because both of them certainly did their homework before publishing something.

(2014) Liberal Icon Urges Impeachment: Obama ‘The Most Destructive, Dangerous President We’ve Ever Had’ ... ““Apparently he doesn’t give one damn about the separation of power. Never before in our history has a president done these things.” http://www.ijreview.com/2014/01/109908-liberal-icon-obama-destructive-dangerous-president-weve-ever/

Nat Hentoff’s amazing... He alone defended the first amendment in ways that will keep it alive for decades... A good man - many more birthdays to him.

This misses the point. Obama is so *IGNORANT* that he doesn't even understand the concept.

Obama is a prime example of incompetence that is the result of making affirmative action your hiring methodology.

He's just a stupid, ignorant, unqualified jackass. He blunders all the time because he doesn't know any better. He's a man-child.

I’ve always admired him so much! He is always so consistently, highly principled! Happy Birthday!

A free speech absolutist. An old school progressive concerned with civil liberties, the sort that has been hunted to near extinction today. I feel the same, i.e. even if I disagreed I did so with respect.

If you read these, Nate, have a happy birthday and I hope you have at least 20 more. Lord knows we need sane voices to chide media on occasion.

Mister Hentoff is and for decades has been a thinking man. That is no longer vogue with liberals, they demand Americans be guided by emotion which they, the liberati, massage with political correctness run amok. Mister Hentoff does not run with such a crowd.

I remember when he spoke up in support of pro life advocates who were hit with RICO suits by the Clinton Administration, citing that such charges violated the First Amendment. He’s one of the last honest liberals.

You’re right. He might even be the last honest man... period.

Thanks for the post. Mr. Hentoff possesses the integrity that is so sorely lacking among politicians and his fellow journalists.
