I remember watching “Firing Line” back in the late sixties and Mr. Buckley had as his guest, Norman Thomas, the socialist party candidate for POTUS from 1928 to 1948, and the grandfather of Evan Thomas.
Mr.Buckley was respectful to Thomas, but he was also ferocious in attacking socialism, and the crimes committed on it’s behalf.
“Mr.Buckley was respectful to Thomas, but he was also ferocious in attacking socialism, and the crimes committed on its behalf.”
There is a lesson for all of us.
