And we know that had McR somehow become a serious contender in 2000 charges like these would have been spread like a virus. Berlet would have dug up a conference which McR attended with a LaRouchite or a conversation he had with a neo-Nazi fifteen years ago. A fight he had with a guy who layed the carpet in his apartment would have been taken as an expression of his contempt for the working class. His failure to appreciate rap music or perhaps his enjoyment of classical music would have been taken as indicative of his deeply rooted elitism or racism. Katha Pollitt would have found some remark he made somewhere to be deeply and offensively sexist etc.
All this is a depressing reminder of those who gleefully (pace NN) imposed a similar purity test on Nader.
You have a lot to be ashamed about.
