The furor here seems to be over the description used by the reporter, parroted in re-reporting—the scourge of modern journalism. Read his statement without the interpretation and see if it offends you. Without it he seems to be assessing Wallace's appeal, which was a real factor.

It's an ongoing concern for the left to study the strategy of the right. It's why Marx studied Louis Bonaparte, the Frankfurt School studied Hitler, why we study Goldwater and Reagan today. Taking note of their successes isn't equivalent to approval. It's a necessary tactic.

This instance took place in an unusual context, which was an assassination attempt on Wallace earlier that year. After that incident, he was visited by Hubert Humphrey, Shirley Chisholm, George McGovern, & Ted Kennedy. None of this is in the article, because it isn't journalism.

There's context going around, which shows Sanders being scathingly critical of Wallace. The Reformer article doesn't go in depth—they didn't take him seriously. The story was to present him as eccentric. But he does call for unequivocal abortion rights and marijuana legalization!

It’s very clear what he was trying to get across. He was saying Wallace was politically effective because he knew what his base wanted even if that meant pandering to his base’s racism. Literally in the quote Sanders said what Wallace had to offer was outrageous.

I feel like even a lot of moderate commentators have made this point about Trump with little ease or backlash. I don’t think it’s unintentional that people in the media suddenly can’t comprehend this argument.

Thank you for all of this. We knew that the slime machine was coming like this. A lot of consultants are seeing their livelihoods endangered.
