[QUOTE="Sportello, post: 4032348, member: 55299"] [I]The growing popularity of South Bend, Indiana [URL='https://www.thedailybeast.com/keyword/pete-buttigieg']Mayor Pete Buttigieg[/URL] is evidently leading to new acts of desperation from some Trumpist “conservatives.” Reading from a long-discredited playbook from the '50s, the conservative Washington Examiner has decided the best approach is to resume some old-style “red-baiting” from the McCarthy era. On Tuesday, the online edition went to press with a [URL='https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/pete-buttigiegs-father-was-a-marxist-professor-who-lauded-the-communist-manifesto']column[/URL] titled “Pete Buttigieg’s Father was a Marxist Professor who Lauded the Communist Manifesto.” Evidently the father’s sins are to be passed down automatically to the offspring. His father, authors Emily Larsen and Joseph Simonson write, “spoke fondly of the Communist Manifesto and dedicated a significant portion of his academic career to the work of Italian Communist Party founder Antonio Gramsci, an associate of Vladimir Lenin.” That his father had these views is hardly a hidden secret. The late Joseph Buttigieg, who passed away last January, taught, beginning in 1980, at the University of Notre Dame, where, as the authors note, he “supported an updated version of Marxism that jettisoned some of Marx and Engel's more doctrinaire theories, though he was undoubtedly Marxist.”[/I] [URL="https://heavy.com/news/2019/04/joseph-buttigieg-pete-father/"]Joseph Buttigieg, Pete Buttigieg’s Father: 5 Fast Facts | Heavy.com[/URL] [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Buttigieg"]Joseph Buttigieg - Wikipedia[/URL] [URL="https://www.southbendtribune.com/news/local/it-s-been-a-good-trip-father-of-mayor-pete/article_9ef0258f-2f61-5ca0-b42a-1b5c72d1000b.html"]'It's been a good trip.'
