Gaza, Police Brutality and Batman with Mehdi and W. Kamau Bell

Stand-up comedian, best-selling author and acclaimed TV host W.
Kamau Bell joins Mehdi as co-host of 'We're Not Kidding' this
week. They discuss the student protestors, who join a long line
of American anti-war demonstrators, as well as the police's use
of brute force against them. Mehdi and Kamau also examine the
censorship of pro-Palestinian voices in the media and Hollywood,
why Batman is politically problematic, and the cynical
"defanging" of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. since his death.

"People celebrate [Dr. King] as a hero and forget the part where
he was assassinated," says Kamau. "He didn't die of old age… He
was assassinated and many people were happy he was assassinated."
