14. I suspect his motivation is similar to that of Malcolm X
One of the more vivid digressions in Malcolm's autobiography centered on the '64 contest between Johnson and Goldwater: the former was likened to the crafty fox, and the arch-conservative the wolf. Malcolm preferred the wolf, who left no room for ambiguity in regard to its intentions. The civil rights leader was, of course, vindicated (albeit posthumously), as the Great Society liberal sent tens of thousands of blacks to murder, and die, in the fields and jungles of Indochina.

One only needs possess a modicum of decency/intelligence to see through Bushco; exposing neo-liberals like Clinton and Feinstein, on the other hand, is a far more ambitious, and worthwhile, effort.
