Professor Seymour Lipset's statement that "McGovern's early supporters were attracted to him over the sex business, abortion and marriuans is insulting and just plain ridiculous. Perhaps I upset feels guilty and would like to forget about the war in Indochina. Surely you don't have to be a genius or even a Harvard professor to remember the days when McGovern was criticized for being a one user candidate, "Was that issue sex? abortion? manjuana? Even Seymour Lipset must be aware that Senator McGovern's early support was based mainly in his strong opposition to the war in Indochina and his advocacy of an immediate end to that war. The thousands of people who worked for McGovern in New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and across this country did so because they shared the Senator's passion for ending this war. Lipset's statement is an insult to all those people and to the millions who supported Senator McGovern last spring and this fall. A scholar like Lipset ought to have some respect for the truth.
