In recent weeks, FrontPage has published my reporting on a number of subjects, even when my exclusive stories, while well-sourced, albeit in one case anonymously, were hardly beyond dispute. Certainly, I cited compelling evidence to accuse Jesse Jackson of being a cheap tipper or Arthur Waskow of indulging demented proposals for social justice. And, in each case, the aforementioned creeps declined numerous opportunities to respond. Still, none of these pieces would have been posted if the Weyrich standard obtained. Nobody is entirely consistent.

You're a bit of a hypocrite. Some of the more important values are honesty and courage. Throughout a long and distinguished career, you've evidenced both. You stood up to the Black Panthers. As someone utterly bereft of either bigotry or its patronizing counterpart, you refused to give these violent criminals a free ride because their mendacity was cloaked in the seductive language of racial justice.
