Even tho Hubert was a Socialist through and through...

I wouldn't consider HHH a Socialist. IMHO, he was the last of the old-time populist liberals --- the kind of guy that LIEberman pretends to be.

HHH was a tough-ass Cold Warrior and as patriotic as they come. I disagreed with his economic beliefs, (which BTW were nearly identical to Nixon's) but he was not a radical leftist like Wellstone or a grubby divide & conquer race and class bating socialist like McCarthy or Mondale.

Notice the gratitude that Mondale did....NOT....show Humphrey.

I'll defer to your call on HHH. He was gone when we lived up north. I do recall reading he was a chamion of the RKBA and ran the Communists out of the old DFL.

A Humphery quote demonstrates just how far the Democraps have moved since he was among them.

"The right of citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which has historically has proved to be always possible." Senator Hubert Humphery (D- Minnesota)
