Oh, and by the way...

In response to all the right-wing blather about obscure college professor Ward Churchill being some leading representative of the Democratic Party (despite being practically unknown before his "little Eichmanns" comment), I offer you this:

Churchill, who was once registered as a Libertarian, told his class in February that there was no real choice between "Republicrats and Democrans." Records show he has not voted since 1992.

"I still identify as a Libertarian," he said last week. "But I'm getting ready to register as a Republican."

Churchill's class was about conflicts between the FBI and American Indians. The lecture that day in February covered an alleged plot to frame anarchists for domestic bombings after World War I, and ended with Democratic patriarch Joseph Kennedy Sr. advocating Adolf Hitler and selling whiskey illegally during the Prohibition.

Hmmm. It must really suck when reality intrudes on your strawman-burning party.
