I remember an interview with Mort Sahl, a 1960’s comedian whose schtick was pointed commentary on current events. A traditional Liberal, but never really vicious. He told a joke just after the closer than close (actually stolen from Nixon by the Cook County machine in Illinois and LBJ’s thugs in Texas) 1960 election that whenever JFK would walk down the street and see a couple coming towards him he’d know that one of them must have voted against him. Innocuous, right? Well, the Kennedy’s didn’t think so and word got to Sahl to get back in line. He was shocked, but this is how the Left has always operated. Get with the program or find yourself on a train heading east to the Gulag. Or in the Clinton’s case, end up committing suicide by shooting yourself three times in the back.
