64. It was not a myth. It was part of his life

Would you have said that John Kerry's time in Vietnam was 35 years before he ran for President, so it was not real. Bernie Sanders was one of many East coast Jews who actively worked in some part of the civil rights movement.

YOU make a HUGE mistake in saying "actually working with them" as if the ENTIRE civil rights movement was in Southern states. Chicago was - and to some very real extent - is - a very racist town. In fact, Keith Ellison earlier this month at a Democratic event in Burlington spoke of how that was very dangerous.

Just as with swiftboating, the goal was to take away something that defined an opponent. In neither case were they running for President based on what they did decades before, but it that REAL accomplishment was something that was part of defining who they were.

They chose Clinton because they knew and loved the Clintons - and had since the 1990s. It was not based on what either did in the 1960s or 1970s -- nor should it have been. To say, it is a MYTH -- just shows you believed Brock and his allies -- and that shows that Brock is still as evil as he was in the 1990s. He just changed his patron.
