That's one of the most ignorant statements ever posted.
How old are you?
Not old enough to have been alive at the time, I'll admit it.
But I've seen McGovern on TV more then my fair share. And Unless he somehow was 10,000 times more charismatic and less out-to-lunch-liberal with all the arrogance and condencention that it brings with it, back then then he is now, I'm gonna stick by my statement.
And do me a favor: Don't even try arguing McGovern wasn't an extremist. He was and is to this day.
