Hentoff claims to be more than just an 'honest liberal'; he claims to be foresquare behind the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as well as claiming to be some sort of "Constitutional Scholar". Yet, when I wrote him some time back asking why he didn't support the entire Bill of Rights, specifically the 2nd Amendment, I got no reply. Typical liberal hypocrisy. Freedom of speech is worthless prattering without the power to back it up.

A Leftist is ultimately going to be inconsistent. That's because the principles of our Constitutional Republic are inconsistent with Leftist doctrine.

But Hentoff is more like the old-style Left like Lincoln Steffens or Upton Sinclair. He doesn't hate America.
