 and in a speech at a SANE rally in the capital in November 1965, against 
the Vietnam war, he laid full blame for the war where it belonged:
"The original commitment in Vietnam was made by President Truman, a 
mainstream liberal.  It was seconded by President Eisenhower, a moderate 
liberal.  It was intensified by the late President Kennedy, a flaming 
liberal.  Think of the men who now engineer the war--those who study the 
maps, give the commands, push the buttons, and tally the dead: Bundy, 
McNamara, Rusk, Lodge, Goldberg, and the President himself.
They are not moral monsters.
They are all honorable men.
They are liberals." (Oglesby 1965; qtd in Perrow 19-20).

   Or Bob Dole in '76, "Democrat Wars..."
