This from Nat Hentoff??!!

I thought he was a thoroughly liberal man who hated W and wanted Kerry for President! Am I missing something here?

Hentoff is an honest and intelligent liberal.

I know, suspend belief for a moment, shuch does exist.

Nat Hentoff has always been a Liberal, but he's been a living oxymoron: a FAIR Liberal.

I almost always enjoy his writing and he is always "fair and balanced" as well as insightful.

Hentoff's main issue is the 1st Amendment. He's opposed to much of the Patriot Act. But he wasn't very impressed with Kerry.

He appears weekly in the Washington Times and I find that I don't disagree with him often - and when I do it is on the Patriot Act.

Hentoff is a First Amendment absolutist. He comes at it from the left but he thinks for himself.

Some famous writer (I forget who) used to call Hentoff "God's own liberal." He is thoroughly pro-life and usually reasonable. I never understood conservatives who embraced Christopher Hitchens (a despicable person who sometimes takes conservative stances). However, Hentoff is the real deal and deserves respect.

Hentoff represents a rare and increasingly endangered species: that of the honest, principled liberal.

Unsurprisingly, he had nothing but revulsion for Bill Clinton.
