Hasso Herring is an Ignoramus

Note that I used the word "ignoramus" – or ignorant person – instead of idiot. Yeah, I know it's rude to say that, but it's true. After all, what thinking, informed adult could possibly write that the "Crusade against Sizemore smacks of revenge"? Hence, I can only assume Mr. Herring is ignorant of the facts.

For instance, he writes:

The unions persuaded a court that irregularities in signature gathering by Sizemore’s outfit amounted to racketeering, and that this had damaged the unions by forcing them to campaign against measures that would have hurt their members. That line of argument should have been rejected by the courts.

Mr. Herring, if that actually had been the line of argument, you would be correct, but it wasn't. You've spent too much time allowing that silver-tongued devil Sizemore to lick your ear and not enough time educating (or reminding) yourself of what really went on. Here's a little refresher course, just for you. And if you want more, you can find a whole lot of it here. Don't miss this one.

After that, you would see why the following statement is so ludicrous:

Legal issues aside, the main public issue in this court struggle is not about money and court orders, but about political freedom.

But then, you probably think Paul Jacob is being persecuted unfairly, too. (He isn't.)
