16. It is cumulative... Even his progressive sister has issues with him.

Now, that he has assumed his role as a liberal pundit of color at Faux news he is free to voice opinions that run contrary to the "party line" at Faux-- so I can see why you would feel like his current punditry is not so bad. But when he was in the biz of ingratiating himself to the troglodites over there, his opportunism knew few bounds. Many of us remember his Allan West-like comments targeted at the Left. The Muslim comments are not even a blip on the screen for most of us who recall those years, when he would put on his "moderate intellectual" cap for NPR and then pop over to appear on Faux news panels where he would "froth like the best of them" at Obama, the Democrats in Congress and Liberal/Progressives in general.

I don't hate him at all. He saddens me with his wasted potential and willingness to "sell out" dating back to his WAPO columnist days when he defended Clarence Thomas against Anita Hill’s charges in a particularly disgusting attack on Hill. I think the Muslim thing was an unfortunate "last straw"--since there were many many reasons to have fired him before then.
