That is a great read! Thank you.

It is how I remember things.

I am puzzled by parts of YAF "spinning off into anarchism and white supremacism," however.

Yes the left needs the "fairness doctrine." Well I lived through the liberals use of the "fairness doctrine" and I swore that never again would I stand by and watch. Free speech is worth spilling blood for -- our free speech, their blood. That goes for both Rats and RINOs.

Re the reference to YAF, I was referring to (1) some of the more extreme libertarians, who tended to be anarcho-capitalists of the Murray Rothbard stripe, moving to alliances or at least discussions with the New Left regarding opposition to the Vietnam War and the military industrial complex and (2) the rise of a group, which I think was called the National Youth Organization, by some self-styled traditionalists who had been active in the Youth for Wallace campaign. This movement was bankrolled by Willis Carto. In the 1960s and early 1970s, YAF was more an umbrella group for a wide range of non-liberals than any other organization on the Right. Ultimately, people with as disparate "patron saints" as Murray Rothbard, Ayn Rand, Bill Buckley, Gary Allen, and Francis Yockey could not stick together forever.
