The last time we saw Anthony Lewis, he was using his last column as a New York Times writer to draw a moral equivalency between fundamentalist Christians and Islamic terrorists. Now, he’s doing a gig for Slate complete with race baiting. Talking about the recent controversy involving Harvard professor Cornel West, Lewis writes that,
What better whipping boy could we have to start this conversation than Harvard? The university that the right loves to hate. The extreme critics, like the Wall Street Journal, really pine for the days when there were few or no blacks at Harvard, when the undergraduates were largely stamped from the same upper-class and middle-class mold.
Ah, what a gifted writer and thinker Lewis is.
