Buchanan's appeal on economic issues is rational, if simplistic. It is his language in other parts of the field that is scurrilous.

She would have to expose an almost inhuman lack of compassion by attempting to justify the slaughter of unarmed, non-violent students by the National Guard, as Nixon did after the Kent State massacre...
