Larry O’Donnell, Democratic operative, now activist, lefty mouthpiece and Hollywood producer, admitted to cowardice on Hugh Hewitt’s show. It’s amazing to read, really. He says it’s safe to be bigoted against Mormons because they’re nice people, but he’s afraid for his life to criticize Muslims, much as he’d like to:
