AtD: Remembering Memorial Day post.

[Mark Kohut]

Chris Hayes has apologized for one thing he said....a smart, heartfelt non-employer-pressured apology it seems.
Some think Obama's last line in his Vietnam Memorial speech today was directed at Hayes' remark....

"As if just having discovered a level of 'reality' at which nations, like money in the bank,
are merged and indistinguishable--the obvious example here being the immense population
of the dead, military and civilian,due to the Great War everyone expects imminently to
seep over us. One hears mathematicians of both countries speak of 'changes of sign' when 
wishing to distinguish England from Germany---but in the realm of pain and destruction, what can
polarity matter?'---p.903, 2/3 down
 
The estimable Chris Hayes on the Up With Chris Hayes Show yesterday morn, did a verbal essay very along
the lines above and has been facing a shitstorm of angry criticism and plain interwebs hate over it. The more
things never change.......
 
Check it out if time and interest. Send him some kind of verbal support at least,maybe?
