The premise you put forward is that James McPherson is a communist because...
1) He signed a petition opposing the impeachment of Clinton on constitutional grounds.
2) He gave several interviews that were published on the World Socialist Website, in which he used offensive phrases like "right-wing", and "anti-abortion".
3) He made public statements which indicate he does not support the incorporation of the CBF on state flags.
4) He participated in a lecture series on black reparations.
5) He wrote an article supporting the University of Michigan position on affirmative action.
I'll be happy to rebut these points with you one at a time, but first I want to make sure I haven't missed anything. Have I?
...and offered public statements of support to the Clinton WH. That demonstrates his place strongly on the pro-Clinton political left.
2) He gave several interviews that were published on the World Socialist Website, in which he used offensive phrases like "right-wing", and "anti-abortion".
...not only did he allow them to be published there but specifically conducted those interviews WITH that website's operators thus establishing at least one solid affiliation with a communist political party.
3) He made public statements which indicate he does not support the incorporation of the CBF on state flags.
On an avowedly communist radio station, no doubt.
4) He participated in a lecture series on black reparations.
Actually it was a single seminar and he not only participated in it but he LED the seminar itself.
5) He wrote an article supporting the University of Michigan position on affirmative action.
Yep.
You also forgot:
6) He appeared with three avowed marxists on a communist-affiliated radio station to trash Republicans
7) He was politically active as a member of a far-left group of "academics" advising the Bill Bradley campaign
and 8) He has in many cases taken political positions that are critical of conservatism, the republican party, or both.
