Why don't you understand why the "far right" is opposed to Clinton? Are you
in favor of "the evil nataional security state"? If not, why are you
surprized that others might be fearful of a president who has "sold out" to
it?

The post to which you have made the above answer does not, in fact, accuse
Clinton of being a "liberal". It accuses him of being a Marxist or a
Communist. Its only mention of "liberals" was in questioning their support
of him. Further, if (as has been suggested by many on this list) communism
was created by the elite as a method of control, then why would they want
him to "challenge the corporate control of the American political
apparatus". That would get him killed like at least one Kennedy, if not
more.
