Curmudgeonly & Skeptical

A Gore Too Far

In an otherwise superb analysis of Gore Vidal (what is it with people named Gore?), Scott Galupo (Vidal Baboon), errs.

"It is instructive to note how those on the left lionize killers like Ted Kaczynski and Timothy McVeigh: Because their ideology was defensible, their actions were understandable (if not excusable) ... . "

    Timothy McVeigh lionized by the left?  Blowing up a  GOVERNMENT BUILDING excusable?  In what was billed as revenge for the Clinton/Reno Waco slaughter?  I don't think so.  In fact, the Feds were only able to set a modern land speed record, in executing McVeigh, because he was perceived to be one of those right wing nuts.  Which he prolly was, but at least no evidence exists that he was driven to his madness by Al Gore.
