re: #490 Killgore Trout

That’s true enough; a lot of the hysteria in the anti-war movement was a big turnoff to people.

However, most Democratic leaders and elected officials did not endorse, befriend, or defend those radical groups. Certainly nowhere to the extent that the GOP defends— and elects— the insanity these days. Only Kucinich and a couple others on the left ever went anywhere near that, and not very far.

It is still a good point that the anti-war movement could have done a lot more to sanitize its membership and not include people who were fervent anti-zionists or otherwise prosecuting their own agenda.
