Actually, I did an archive search last night and found almost nothing that Charles wrote in defense of Kerry. On the contrary - I found this, from August 2004:
<http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/2004/2004-August/018482.html>
"Afterall, Bush may be the lesser evil. How can we say that Kerry's election wouldn't be something very close to fascism?"
To which you responded:
<http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/2004/2004-August/018506.html>
"And I'll say this much for Charles's suggestion: if an equivalent to fascism ever comes to threaten the u.s., it will be dressed in liberal not old-fashioned reactionary clothing. So if someone told me that they knew for sure that either Kerry or Bush was a covert fascist, I'd pick Kerry. But the game is silly. No fascist threat in 2004."
