Best I could come up with was that McPeak was a junior officer on his way up at the time General Edwin Walker was driven out of the service by the evil Robert McNamara (presumably for passing out John Birch Society tracts to the troops).
No doubt that impressed McPeak with the idea that if he wanted to get promoted he'd best go along with the Leftwingtards.
Guess it must have begun to dominate his whole life ~ otherwise he wouldn't be trying to push Obama off on us. Or possibly he "went over" in the Nam.

Nobody who ends up on the Obama campaign could have believed differently.
