After Eric Alterman discontinued his blog, I started following Andrew, who by that time had renounced his support for the Iraq war and had endorsed Obama for President. I turned a blind eye toward his earlier support of the despicable The Bell Curve and the misogyny that permeated his hatred of Hillary. I guess I thought that he was no longer in thrall to racist ideology because he liked Obama but I was mistaken. I apologize to all for being such a fool and not realizing that the racism that clearly motivated his original enthusiasm for Charles Murray (another detestable human being) has persisted. Maybe racism has always been a bedrock of conservative ideology.
