Don’t forget European football stadiums and Alice Walker, via the Simon Wiesenthal top 10 anti-Semites list.
Good list. A couple more from my notes —
William Fulbright
“Pete” McCloskey
Adlai Stevenson
Ron Paul
(And when reading lists like this I think it’s important to think not just of the private lives that were damaged or destroyed, but of the damage to the whole political system when you eliminate an entire class of principled, committed voices (from both left and right). These are the kind of voices that inspire young people. The tribalists have played a big part in creating the general atmosphere of disrespect for all politics. )
So James Baker made the list but not George H.W. Bush?
That seems unfair! ! ! *
You’ll probably be hearing from his attorney.
