Sam Harris of the IDW attacks the "sinister" Zohran Mamdani

I haven't been writing much about Sam Harris here on Pinkerite in the past few years, although just a couple of posts ago I did mention his hatred of the Southern Poverty Law Center for reporting on the facts of his being a conduit for the far-right.

But Sam Harris is still a reactionary clown - a named member of the Intellectual Dark Web as noted in this episode of the Majority Report - and now attacking Zohran Mamdani.

Sam Harris is the creep who:

• Wrote a defense of torture in 2005.

• Attacked a Muslim community center ("Ground Zero Mosque") on the basis of his belief that all Muslims are responsible for the 9/11 attacks - I went to one of the demonstrations in support of that community center in 2010.

• Promoted gutter racist Charles Murray and defended Murray by linking to an article by the race pseudoscience twins at least one of whom, Bo Winegard, is a neo-Nazi who now works for neo-Nazi Emil Kirkegaard. 

And as a result Harris the subject of one of the best episodes of the Majority Report ever, when the late Michael Brooks (RIP) relentlessly went after Harris' support for race pseudoscience. If you hate race pseudoscience and you want a good laugh at Sam Harris' expense, you have to watch the Brooks-hosted episode of the Majority Report. I must have watched it five times already and I still laugh every time.

Really, this article from 2013 has never been beaten: Why does anybody take Sam Harris seriously?

Bonus points for this latest Majority Report episode for pointing out that Harris is a nepo-baby.
