Also has a lot in common with the Dreyfuss case.
The accused became a symbol of what the accusers hated, making his conviction necessary, regardless of the facts, if they were to maintain their worldview.
It’s a lot easier to hate a symbol than a person.

You are well-read. I'd venture few Freepers (one of the more educated segments of the populace) have even heard of Dreyfuss and Zola.

I am coming to the conclusion that you are more correct in your assertion that it more closely relates to the Dreyfuss case that TKAMB. Both have their own similarities, but Dreyfuss is IMHO closer.
Well written, and spot on in both cases.

Its a lot easier to hate a symbol than a person. This is the entirety of Hillary's hold on her "army," which in turn is just an amplification of the general liberal control principle run by RINOs and Leftists.
It makes abject cowards out of former human beings.
