MSNBC's “panel” on today's hearings about radicalization of Muslim-Americans featured liberals Carl Bernstein and Cenk Uygur – with MSNBC's Richard Lui moderating. With no substantial conservative counterpoints to be offered, the two guests sounded their condemnations of the hearings as “cultural warfare” and bigotry. Bernstein slammed the House inquiry as a joke and as a “debating society for cultural warfare.” Referencing the institution's past for producing McCarthy-ite investigations, he compared the current hearings with the gladiatorial combat of the Roman coliseum. “Now we have this question which is part of this coliseum-like atmosphere of cultural warfare,” Bernstein spat.
