The man just won't give them a break.
I can hardly believe that falling down drunk Moyers is still on the air.
Sooner or later, you run out of fresh material.
Whether or not Jefferson sired children with Hennings is debatable, which by definition means it is not myth. Labeling it a myth is every bit the lie as the lie that it is fact.
“Ah, America, right? “
A bitter, broken down, old liberal who has made millions by hating America. All my “intellectual” friends thinks this D-bag walks on water. Give me a Paul Harvey any day over this poison.
Moyers is an Obama media group drone.
“Bill Moyers (born June 5, 1934) is an American journalist and public commentator. He served as White House Press Secretary in the Johnson administration from 1965 to 1967. “
Allegations of bias
Bush-appointee Corporation for Public Broadcasting chairman Kenneth Tomlinson was a regular critic of Moyers; in 2003, he wrote to Pat Mitchell, the president of PBS, that “[NOW with Bill Moyers] does not contain anything approaching the balance the law requires for public broadcasting.”[52] In 2005, Tomlinson commissioned a study of the show, without informing or getting authorization from the CPB board.[53] Tomlinson said that the study supported what he characterized as “the image of the left-wing bias of NOW”.[54] George Neumayr, the executive editor of The American Spectator, a conservative magazine, told the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer that “PBS looks like a liberal monopoly to me, and Bill Moyers is Exhibit A of that very strident left-wing bias... [Moyers] uses his show as a platform from which to attack conservatives and Republicans.”[52] Wipedia
Blacks need to check out Dr. Walter E. Williams.
“I think that ‘African-Americans for Obama’ is divisive and despicable. There’s one standard we hold whites up to, and another that we hold blacks up to — which is lower. Imagine the uproar if Romney started ‘Whites for Mitt.’” -Dr. Williams
It is not just Bill Moyers. Just about any media source will state the same thing as if it is proven fact.
You would probably be surprised how many also will state that Cleopatra was Black.
Let’s assume that he did sire children with her (which I seriously doubt in that there were some very nice looking white women around in that day). Did it improve their gene pool? You can pretty much take that for granted and they should be thanking Jefferson and not criticizing him.

Nothing on this earth more pathetic than an old Red who has wasted a long life being an ass for the Left.
I agree. It seems pretty likely that there were some Jefferson children amongst the slaves.
I by no means seek to deny the truth of some of the ugliness in America’s past.
The problem with liberals is that they fail to admit that we have self-corrected our nation’s problems in a remarkably short time.
“People want to celebrate. People want to feel a sense of belonging.”
This was used as an explanation of how we could POSSIBLY celebrate our nation’s founding. I would change “want” to “ought.”
It seems the more we “progress”... the more the left tries to insist we live in the past.
Sally Hemmings was the half-sister of Jefferson's dead wife.
“Nothing on this earth more pathetic than an old Red who has wasted a long life being an ass for the Left.”

...who is firther, being paid with tax dollars coerced from conservatives.
Shutter PBS.
It is time to ask even if true SO WHAT? Slaves were property to be used as the master required.(The left should love that statement.)
As long as conservative American continues to send the majority of their children to commie union teacher run public schools this deconstruction of the foundation of the country and the demeaning of the founders will only get worse until there will only be a handful of people who know the truth.
The commie union teachers are doing the bidding of the communist manifesto for decades and what we are seeing is the result of a house built with a fake foundation. Scum like Moyers are everywhere at PBS and NPR and to make matters worse we are forced to pay for it and do nothing about it.
Tommy and Sally aside, it really is a lousy column, and Bill Moyers isn't the right person to write it, Moyers and LBJ having perhaps greater flaws or at least less excuse for them than Jefferson.
It's strange that Bill Moyers, who may want to be taken seriously, is writing for a website called smirkingchimp.com, and even stranger that there still is a smirkingchimp.com, long after that title lost relevance.
I guess the smirkingchimp team didn't want to spring for a new URL.
Agreed, and this is what keeps me a conservative, while at the same time puts me on the outs with some right-wing firebrands. I get the liberal ideas behind such things as the civil rights movement. It was very much needed. The problem with liberals though is that corrections go on in perpetuity. From where I sit, blacks have achieved equality, Martin Luther King's dream has come true. It's time to end the corrections, and it's been time for quite a while now.
