The Education of Mos Def

At the hands of Chris Hitches and Salman Rushdie. Even Bill Maher puts him some information... at least before he comes riding to the ignoramus leftist Truther's rescue. (Well, he sounds like a Truther. I'd guess he's a Truther, or would be a Truther, if he were even informed enough to have heard of Trutherism.)

Mos Def asks again and again what Al Qaeda's and the Taliban's agenda is. The clear implication is that he doesn't believe there's enough information to say they're bad guys.

Mos Def is, like many of his kind, protected from the responsibility of making judgments by his well-crafted shield of full and complete ignorance.

Comment Snark:

Dear Al Qaeda,

I'm not sure what your ideas are, so I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Sincerely,

Mos Def

Thanks to Hoke Malokey.

Bonus: Maher calls for bringing troops home from Germany and Okinawa, saying "at some point those people will have to learn to rape themselves."

Yup, He's a Truther: Commenters tell me he's said so. He says so here (language warning). Asked if bin Ladin knocked down the World Trade Center, he says "Absolutely not." His reason? He's from the ghetto, and he can feel danger, and he feels none of it from bin Ladin.

Oh, and also, the moon landing was a hoax.

Oh, and OJ is innocent.
