Columnist Bob Herbert: "Racism, Poverty and the War in Iraq"

Watch Bob Herbert discuss "Racism, Poverty and the War in Iraq" at the Feb. 2007 Chancellor's Lecture Series at Vanderbilt University.

Calling George W. Bush the president with the unsettling demeanor of a boy king, New York Times columnist Bob Herbert is as outspoken against President Bushs tragically misguided war in Iraq as he is against American political apathy toward race issues and the erosion of basic rights. Herbert spoke Feb. 20, 2007, at the Student Life Center on the Vanderbilt University campus.

Herbert is one of the liberal pundits who routinely sees racism in any opposition to President Obama, and ascribes racist motives to the Tea Parties in particular and the Republican party in general. How does he then account for midterm Republican victories for governors Nikki Haley, Suzanna Martinez, Brian Sandoval, senator Marco Rubio, congress people Col. Allen West, Jaime Herera, Tim Burns and Raul Labrador, and close calls for Ryan Frzazier and Van Tran in congress?
