Hey Dan! I don't think Richard (though I can't speak for him since he  
keeps insisting on speaking for himself) said he was rooting for the  
anti-Semitic fascist. I think he was pointing out that the anti- 
Semitic fascist had said some things about our current administration  
that hit the mark. The devil himself speaks truth sometimes.
