Rabbi Avi Weiss and his goon platoons still found time and someone else's money to dog Buchanan's steps from New Hampshire to California, and occasionally some other hired thug, usually a failed neoconservative politician, would emerge from the political graveyard to moan about Buchanan's “fascism,” his “nativism,” or his “racism.” But in general, even Buchanan’s most left-wing critics found the man himself likable and many of his ideas compelling. Tom Carson of the Village Voice traveled with the Buchanan Brigades in Iowa last spring, and despite the agony of enduring a couple of weeks slumming in the Heartland, he could not help but be drawn to the popular insurgency the candidate was mounting, “I’ve been waiting my whole life for someone running for president to talk about the Fortune 500 as the enemy,” Mr. Carson told Buchanan, “and when I finally get my wish, it turns out to be you.”
