Bernard-Henri Lévy on US public radio

BHL appeared on “What Do You Know”, an American radio show where he didn’t receive the sort of abuse Garrison Keillor would hand him, and then refuse to debate Lévy on the air. They discussed whatever’s good about Political Correctness, the lunacy of some of it, the fact that bigotry is combated in the US in a way that few Europeans would know. The subject was “America: good and bad,” and was handled quite honestly.

On John Kerry, he said:

«He had so many reason to lose.»
He also had some reasonable social criticisms of the US. On the whole it was a good and entertaining exchange and was a good antidote to the US as the fixation of a European “blabogentsia”.
