Robert Wright: ‘Savage’? Carson should know about savage attacks

I’m sitting in my recliner lubricating myself before the Republican debate. Lou Dobbs comes on and begins railing about how the media “savagely” attacked Ben Carson. I laughed so hard that beer came out of my nose. I wondered, as I cleaned up my mess, does Lou consider the act of trying to stab a friend or trying to hit your mother over the head with a hammer, savage?

Robert Wright, Hilmar
