Johnson doesn’t bother to make a rational counter argument — just like Billings-puss, he fecklessly demonizes the speaker (rehashing Clapton’s losing his mother, and other odd lot life events — most of over a half century ago, now — as a supposed argument against his minority viewpoint — today).
Cool. That’s Scott’s right. [Stoopid; but his right… to make an a$$ of himself.]
I’d listen to Clapton on foreign policy about as carefully… as I’d listen to Scott… trying to play that immortal “Layla” riff. Which is to say… almost not at all.
[First, above is the first time I heard Clapton’s riff, in the movie theatre that year. Smile… then the second one was decades later, but same basic theme.] And, in truth, I won’t listen to Johnson on Israel (at all), either. He’s a hate-filled tool, hell bent on repressing student speech he disfavors [even after his time at Dartmouth in 1969 or ’70… when he did the exact same thing, and didn’t suffer a long-term scratch].
The guy is a feckless… putz. But you knew that, already.
