Moyers was on The Daily Show the other night and he had some things to say about the interview with Rev. Jeremiah Wright (Obama's former pastor), John McCain's relationship with Rev. John Hagee, and the risks to democracy made by economic disparity. He has a new book out called Moyers On Democracy.
"Democracy is a story of narrow escapes and we may be running out of luck because we have created problems that our politics will not solve. Whether it's a war that goes on and on even though seventy percent of the people don't like it, whether it's our infrastructure that's crumbling .... We are becoming a society that is divided in great extremes; the divide is greater than it's been since the Great Depression."
