My mother was the one who suggested Linda Tripp to record her conversation with Monica Lewinsky and to save the dress. I know some of these things, and when the administration started destroying Lewinsky, Tripp, and my mother, I defended my mother and with Tripp extension... I have no desire to have that argument again. I did a bit in Clinton's trench pants.

He defended historical colonialism in places like Africa as more profitable than generally given credit for; in one column, he suggested that US imperialism on the continent could help solve a persistent problem. When he wrote in October 2006 that attacking Iraq was a mistake, he called it a "noble" mistake and still maintains that the liberal opponents of war policy want America to fail: "In other words, their objections are not war per se; which advance the interests of the United States.... I must admit, one of the things that makes me reluctant to conclude that the Iraq war is a mistake is my displeasure over the cruelty of anti-war arguments. "
He popularized and expanded on comments by the late Time author William Henry III. Henry has written on the subject of multiculturalism and cultural equality, stating that "there is hardly a thing to put a person on the moon to put a bone in your nose." Goldberg states that "[m] ultikulturalisme - which is only egalitarianism wrapped in rainbow-colored paper - has enhanced the idea that all ideas are equal, all systems are equal, all cultures are of equal value."

Relationships with authors and other public figures

"Cole refuses to accept and the stakes are never made. Goldberg then admits that if Cole has earned a bet, Cole will win.

Media
Regarding Fox News, Goldberg said, "Look, I think the liberals have a fair complaint with Fox News.It does not lean to the right, especially in the programming of his opinion but also in the selection of his story (which is fine by me) and elsewhere.But it's worth remembering that Fox is less a bulwark of ideological conservatism and more populist, tabloidy network. "
Goldberg has criticized the liberals for not liking Fox News, claiming that they have "no problem with the editorialization of Keith Olbermann of MSNBC or Chris Matthews, they think it's just wrong for the conservatives to play the game." Goldberg referred to Olbermann as "MSNBC's answer to a question no one asked."
