He can't handle it when leftists are smart & articulate, like Glick was. We were watching a few weeks ago when a very sharp immigration lawyer was giving him a hard time for his cretinous views on the people who cross the Rio Grande - they were parasites, etc. She pointed out that the U.S. has been abusing Mexico for ages, that NAFTA was displacing peasants who had nowhere to go. This was more than he could take, so he cut off her mike, after denouncing her as an America-hater. Of course, when he has some idiot like a Berkeley city council member who can't summon a fact or make an argument, he lets them go on.
Of course, Stanley Fish walked all over him and he didn't cut him off. I wonder why he got away with it?
