Ok, I made the mistake of looking up Brooks in the Meet the Press transcript. What a tool.

MR. BROOKS: I don't think it was just a Penn State problem. You know, you spend 30 or 40 years muddying the moral waters here. We have lost our clear sense of what evil is, what sin is; and so, when people see things like that, they don't have categories to put it into. They vaguely know it's wrong, but they've been raised in a morality that says, "If it feels all right for you, it's probably OK." And so that waters everything down. The second thing is a lot of the judgment is based on the supposition that if we were there, we would have intervened.

The '60s as the root of all evil is a standard neocon thing, of course. Brooks is as skilled at making crap up as any Republican, it seems.
