Makes you wonder...and nothing’s changed. I mean, the communist roots of unions, etc.
Where did these man in the street interviews happen? Did they travel to different parts of the country to gauge public opinions or did they just walk out of the New York City offices?
I wonder how many of today’s college students know that Kennedy was assassinated by a Communist, or as Oswald preferred to be called, a Marxist. I bet the number is very low.
It seemed as though it was just N.Y.C. but I can’t be sure as there weren’t any special landmarks that I remember but they mostly had that NY accent.
Am I defending him as a conservative? Absolutely not; he was a nut, but an overarching theme of his manifesto was an indictment of modern leftism and political correctness, and many passages would be perfectly at home right here at FR.
As his targets suggested, Kaczinski was anti-progress, anti-technology, and anti-academia, but generally because he saw those things as direct threats to human liberty.
In the 2000 campaign there was a widespread quizz circulated on the internet asking if a series of quotes were from Kaczinski's Manifesto or Gore's Earth In The Balance. It was funny and amusing, but one could have just as easily (if not more easily) found enough quotes in his manifesto for the quizz to have compared Kaczinski with Limbaugh, Buckley, FR, etc.

Read Jayna Davis’ investigative book on the OC bombing. McVeigh was a stooge for the muslims. Never doubt it.
Has Breitbart been infected? It set off the Kaspersky.
Had not heard. Google loves to call conservative sites dangerous. Happened to mine too. Had to do a little dance to get rid of the warnings. :(
