Bernie Goldberg has been a hard critic of Donald Trump, but he’s a harsher critic of deep-end lefty journalists. In the crosshairs in his new column is Esquire essayist/blogger Charles Pierce, whose new piece attacking the Donald and the Donald Supporters one of the unhingediest screeds you can find anywhere on Al Gore’s invention. Here’s one chunk in which Pierce channels Network’s Howard Beale:
Damn them all now.
Damn the delegates who will vote for this man. Damn the professional politicians who will fall in line behind him or, worse, will sit back and hope this all blows over so the Republican Party once again will be able to relegate the poison this man has unleashed to the backwaters of the modern conservative intellectual mainstream, which is where it has been useful for over four decades. Damn the four hopeless sycophants who want to share a stage with him for four months. Damn all the people who will come here and speak on his behalf. Damn all the thoughtful folk who plumb his natural appeal for anything deeper than pure hatred.
Bernie’s take on this ”borderline psychopath” is worth your time.
