When Neocons Eat Their Own
Talk show host, Michael Medved, offered a remarkable personal memoir about "Vietnam and the Rise of the New Left" at Hillsdale College ("Educating for Liberty Since 1884") on September 11 last. Who knew he was the Forrest Gump of the New Left. He was everywhere! Went to Yale Law School. Was Hilary's study partner. (gasp!) Bill's classmate (oh no!) Organized the March on Washington in 1969. (He had help... just not with drugs. Oh, I forgot about the inconvenient truth - we were all stoned all the time.)
But here is what I didn't know. He only was involved in the anti-war movement to punch up his resume on his way to working for McGovern, and to meet girls and get laid (his success there is in question). Huh? Most of the folks I knew were actually trying to end a war. (Imagine that.)
His name-dropping, and inside baseball went a bit far, however. He also spoke of certain inside information he had. (At times it was difficult to tell the difference between his talk on a college campus and daytime TV). At one point he spoke of the many ways people tried to avoid the draft (Chapter 5), including a certain current presidential candidate who got a psychiatric deferment. (It is in the "public record" after all. It's just that most people didn't know about it... now they will.)
You can see the talk here on fora.tv , but no need to suffer through an hour of blather (we did that for you). Just scroll down the channels on the left to Chapter 14, and you can see and hear this rehabilitated liberal out this "presidential candidate", and throw him under the bus.
