What's different now is that while political leaders used to give talking points to talk radio, now talk-radio hosts are giving talking points to political leaders.

When political leaders fail to denounce anti-Semitic violence and slurs, the void is not only demoralizing to the victims, but silence actually enables the wrongdoing.
