What we have are bunch of people and organizations harmed because of
their associations, not because they did anything wrong.  We should be
condemning the people who have judged people on the basis of
association, rather than condemning the associated person for harm
caused to those he has associated with.  This country is not supposed
to be Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia.

For example, saying that the troubles of Steve Jackson's Games is due
to Len Rose rather than to the Secret Service is hogwash.
