On the one hand, it's better to let people speak than to shut them down. On the other, I doubt even if they had read his works, that they would have found out much they had not already heard a zillion times. The right wing is totally stuck on various kinds of hate speech combined with trickle-down economics. We've heard it all before. So, what's to shut down? Did Dr. Murray really have anything new to say? Maybe; I haven't read him either. I have a feeling maybe I don't need to read him. I'll look him up though; I don't really remember what exactly his schtick is.
wikipedia:
Charles Alan Murray (born January 8, 1943) is an American libertarian conservative political scientist, sociologist, author, and columnist.
He became well known for his book Losing Ground: American Social Policy 1950–1980 (1984), which discussed the American welfare system.[3] He is best known for his controversial book The Bell Curve (1994), written with Richard Herrnstein, in which he argues that intelligence is a better predictor than parental socio-economic status or education level of many individual outcomes such as: income, job performance, pregnancy out of wedlock, and crime.[3] His other works include In Pursuit: Of Happiness and Good Government (1988), What It Means to be a Libertarian: A Personal Interpretation (1997), Human Accomplishment: The Pursuit of Excellence in the Arts and Sciences, 800 B.C. to 1950 (2003), In Our Hands: A Plan to Replace the Welfare State (2006), and Real Education: Four Simple Truths for Bringing America's Schools Back to Reality (2008).[3]
Gee whiz, do people really think he has anything to say? Just more libertarian conservative tripe. Yeah, there's nothing new here; same o same o bullshit that stinks to high heaven. Trickle-down tinkle-down libertarian tripe. I probably wouldn't have to listen to him for more than 5 seconds to get what he's saying.
