"One of the statistics that frightened me was that a number of white women after the first debate because they felt that Romney was strong and Obama was weak. So, I mean I’m out of order her, but I’m saying, do these women engage in battered women syndrome? Do you want a bully in your face? This man (Romney) who’s pushing his finger and acting like you know Robo-Man, is that what you prefer?"It gets worse. As Tim Graham notes, Bell Hooks, another guest of the show, upped the ante on hate. Hooks is also pretty well known for having built a career spewing her hate of whites as often as possible. As her book Killing Rage begins, for instance, she wrote that she was "sitting beside an anonymous white male" that she longed to murder. Hooks was also one of those many leftists that claimed it was the U.S. that was the real terrorist nation in the aftermath of 9/11. So, on the show, feminist Hooks one-upped Malveaux saying that Romney is a "white supremacist." About Romney, Hooks said, "Well did you think we would ever live to see a white man running on a white supremacist ticket for Presidency?" Cornel West went on to compare Romney to 1960's segregationist George Wallace. This is, of course, utter hogwash. But this is consistently what passes for "intellectual" discussion on Smiley West. Remember, folks. This is the sort of garbage that our tax dollars go to support on National Public Radio.
