"Professor Cole, more Americans should hear this." Indeed. Perhaps by writing a few letters to Editors of major newspapers, etc. And to the Senator himself.
Well, this is my take on part of this: Republican pundits need to write in order to convince themselves that they are correct in their thinking for they all seem to not be ableto admit any faults. They are "never wrong" in their internals, they cannot be, for that would be a sin of weakness. ("Don't apologize," John Wayne as Nathan Brittles in the film 'She Wore a Yellow Ribbon' by John Ford said, "It's a sign of weakness." And who can argue with the Duke?)
These pundits, all, from Kinsley to Brooks to Will to Krauthammer et. al... simply cannot admit, ever, to being at fault of anything. But everyone makes mistakes from time to time. Read Krugman, for example, he admits to being wrong occasionally -- Prof. Cole is a human too, right?

But Republicans cannot admit to being human.
