Thanks to the extreme generosity of a friend who is leaving academia for another vocation, I am now in possession of what might be NE South Dakota's best private library of books on the Holocaust. Thus the appreciation of the abject stupidity of the NVB's final post, which once again compares all those to the right of socialist Howard Dean as fascists. It reminds me of my grad school days, when we read some works of French philosopher Michel Foucault in our Contemporary Political Thought course. In reading Foucault, we read a commentary on him by the eminent American political philosopher Michael Walzer, a man whose progressive credentials are unquestionable. Walzer described Foucault as an "infantile leftist." I have always appreciated that appellation. It applies nicely to the NVB. I hope local Republicans are keeping a file of the hate coming from the official webpage of the Brown County Democrats and will use those extremist views in upcoming elections. Those Democrats that represent Brown County in totality or in part should be made to defend the hatred directed towards the common American by the Brown County Democrats. Twain once said something to the effect of "It's better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." NVB is finally shutting its mouth. I could say more, but I can't beat Prof. Blanchard's "chimpanzee throwing feces" phrase.
