Analogies go only so far. I watched Patrick Buchannan sink the Bush campaign with his “Red Meat” speech at the Republican National Convention. Because I was for Clinton, it didn’t matter much to me, although I had some sympathy for the horrified, responsible, decent Republicans in the audience. This time, the Democratic Party is having one Patrick Buchannan moment after another, what with Rev. Wright, Wm. Ayers and others having far too much fun at Obama’s expense.
If the Republicans fail to educate our younger voters about the Weathermen, and the significance of having a U.S. presidential campaign launched by an unrepentant Weatherman, then shame on them.
