For the last several months, we have been picking up steam in this discussion around my defense of Louis Farrakhan, who I've come to admire as a man who is not in any way anti-Semitic. One man who is Jewish, Lewis Fein, participated in this dialogue almost from the beginning. Recently, though, his patience came to an end, at least for the moment, and he erupted in a string of invectives against the Minister and me. Of his several entries in this series, I post only the last, as the second in the dialogue. The first, from Russell Whiting, was his attempt to explain to Lewis why I was losing patience with him.

Many of the axioms we hold now to be true were once ridiculed by individuals like yourself. Some of histories greatest truth tellers were not well thought of by their contemporaries.
