In case you don't know who this guy is, go here and here.
But having listened to Hill over time, one need only hear Hill explain in good humor over time his opinions and analysis and you can see who he is.
Now there is a real good reason why Pat Buchanan is the house conservative over at MSNBC. Which is to discredit that which is to the right of the left, the left which dominates the new democratic party, which is 5 standard deviations to the left of leadership of people like Hubert Humphrey and Henry Jackson, and makes no distinction between equal outcome as a govt mandate domestically and in foreign affairs. Mr. Buchanan, is in my opinion, a bigot and nothing can more reinforce the emotional stupidities and blindness of THAT left then the belief that to their right lies ignorance and bigotry.
But Dr. Hill's presence on Fox was not to discredit the left as a bunch of freaks, but rather what his presence did was to explain kindly, patiently and laughingly why we to HIS right are doomed. He is a living example of our educational proclivities. He exists, IMHO, at the center of the political spectrum of dem leadership today. His lamenting about Obama not standing by Van Jones is merely because he could do so without consequence. One look at the some of the others on that crew like Cass ("The Constitution Doesn't Mean What it Says") Sunnstein, and Mark ("The 1st Amendment is an exaggeration") Lloyd tells you so. It's just that not enough sunlight was brought to bear on them in enough time
That Rupert Murdoch himself fired Hill tells us something negative about Fox. There is simply no reason to think that by having Hill on Fox was in any way giving support to Hill's extravagant ideas, merely seeking to have on display a true progressive unafraid to air and defend his views. Even when they are really OBNOXIOUS. We have to defend the views and ability to speak of the most obnoxious to defend our own.
Believe it.
There is a reason why Fox is both the most trusted and most distrusted new channel, putting sunlight on Hill and his ideas detracts from the latter and emphasizes the former.
Firing him is a mistake.
Replacing him we will find the likes of someone (if anyone) whose unpleasantness exceeds their volume and dislike for anything to their right, like Bernadine Dorhn Ayers, for instance. THAT is where Hill was from. And he happily engaged EVERYONE to air and defend those positions.
The right needs to hear that kind of person, every bit as much as the left needs to hear Goldwater on the religiously affiliated right, or face the realization that to them Harry Truman and FDR are actually xenophobic war criminals
