host: I understand that the incoherence of the 'war on terror' and even the 'terrorist' label is deeply frustrating. But if one treats that bit of non-sense as the terminal point of one's thought, then he is no better than the other guy who uncritically throws the labels around without thinking about where they came from or more importantly what they even mean.
I'll say again that yes, he's affiliated with a pretty bizarre militant group. I'm aware of his various legal troubles - I've met the guy, actually. He and I agree on very little, but it is not his presence on TV that I find troublesome, only the cartoonish way in which most television news handles this and other issues.
