Paul Harvey's Tribute to Slavery, Nukes, Genocide

From FAIR:

Drawing a contrast with what he cast as the praiseworthy nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II, Harvey lamented that "we sent men with rifles into Afghanistan and Iraq and kept our best weapons in their silos"--suggesting that America should have used its nuclear arsenal in its invasions of both countries.

Harvey concluded:

"We didn't come this far because we're made of sugar candy. Once upon a time, we elbowed our way onto and across this continent by giving smallpox-infected blankets to Native Americans. That was biological warfare. And we used every other weapon we could get our hands on to grab this land from whomever.

"And we grew prosperous. And yes, we greased the skids with the sweat of slaves. So it goes with most great nation-states, which--feeling guilty about their savage pasts--eventually civilize themselves out of business and wind up invaded and ultimately dominated by the lean, hungry up-and-coming who are not made of sugar candy."

Harvey, I believe, actually used to be a real journalist years ago. For the past decade or two, however, he's essentially been a syndicated radio essayist, telling short feel-good stories about American character and values. It's usually pretty bland, but inoffensive; his voice and personality are what made his otherwise boring commentary worth listening to at all. I've always kind of liked him, but not anymore. What a nut-job he's become! My guess is that he's just getting senile--he's in his mid 80s, after all. But he may have always been a fascist for all I know. I mean he does come from the era of Jim Crow, Native-Americans-as-savages, and American military aggrandizement. At any rate, Disney should pull this guy off the air right now. What a weirdo.
