A true progressive/liberal in the American sense of the word campaign that was too much for middle america against Richard M Nixon, just like Barry Goldwater conservativeism/libertarianism was too much for that crowd back in 1964 against Lyndon B Johnson. Funny enough, many libertarians like the guy and McGovern views on labour were't what you'll call "progressive". Most of the other New Left members such as McCarthy, Church and Gravel are now beloved by many libertarians. And what frighting is the love Richard Nixon gets from progressives as well as Lyndon Johnson. I think there better men to honor for progressiveism then crocks such as Nixon.
