I think these kinds of stories are important not just seeing how disgusting dems are, but the nature of the human mind unchecked is always itself the source of suffering and evil. It so happens that the unchecked and hence delusional mind and thinking process tends strongly toward the left ... but the original sin and its close relatives the mortal sins are all delusions of the mind (sin originally means 'to miss the mark,' - i.e. to misperceive and hence mis-act or mis-aim) and if the mind is not tamed, it's a reckless psychopath in most cases.
In other words, the DEFAULT, unchecked state, of the human mind, is that of a psychopath. The exception is the tamed or humbled mind. Most people are somewhere in between, and as a result, human history especially in groups, mobs and big governments - which is just a mob -> tends toward the violent, destructive and as a whole the human race's history, while at times punctuated by clarity and beauty and strength, tends in general to hover around the antics of a psych ward abandoned by the staff.
the cure is not a question of what direction is correct for the powerful to take - what philosophy. It's a question of making sure nobody has much power. In other words ... it's a chronic condition that you manage by giving no one power, maximizing freedom, and hence not letting evil concentrate.
But alas! I wax philosophical. What scumbags the lefties are! :-)
I was 22 years old when Chappaquiddick happened. I never bought any of the Kennedy BS. I have read at least two books about it. But I don't recall this that you assert.
Could you provide some backup.
