It was BS then and it's BS now. The fact that this sort of responsibility eschewing crud is the standard fare of "important left wing thinkers" indicates precisely what is wrong with "left wing thinkers" and why there will never be a rapprochemont between those on the left, and those on the right.

Again, what's the point?
We understand that you do not agree with what this individual said 50 years ago; I also think it's safe to say that he had a minority view at the time. We understand that a current US senator wrote a college paper about him 40 years ago, and that you would have probably chosen a different subject. I also understand that you have a problem with the existence of "left wing thinkers"; or is it "thinkers," in general?
Would you prefer to live in a country without any differing opinions, or just a country where anyone who expresses a differing opinion is considered unfit to hold public office for life? I believe there are several nations that would meet this criterion.
