re: #524 Charles

Look — I listened to the audio recordings this guy put online, and read his post at Wikipedia before it was deleted. I’m not sacrificing any objectivity — it’s flat obvious that if you’re going to describe his political views, they are right wing, not left wing.

I see quite a few people in this thread, though, who are sacrificing their objectivity and making really strained and empty arguments to claim he was a left winger.

I agree there is no way this guy was a socialist because he utterly detested the government’s role in the economy and in education
.
But let’s get back to the allegation that he was a registered Democrat. I don’t think party registration is necessarity irrelevant. I would like to know when he registered, because if he registered very recently then it would be much more relevant that if he registered a very long time ago…after all, peoples’ views do change.
