Herrnstein was as intellectually vile, i.e. racist, as Murray is. It's a disgrace to see these attempts to rehabilitate them.

It's arguable whether they should be shamed out of speaking or not, but they certainly should not be fawned over. I can't quite figure ot Harris' interest in doing so.

Unless he's intending to extrapolate Murray's junk science on the intellectual "inferiority" of African-Americans onto Muslims, Arab or otherwise.
