It dawned on me today that by using oxymoronic FRight Wing Logic Charlie was actually one of "them"
And should be a poster boy for their cause.
Think about it.
He raised a family .
Loved his guns.
Was a self made man who did not rely on Big Govt handouts.
Was not a college educated elitist.
Never voted Democrat.
Like James Watt he hated the Beachboys.
Wanted to take his country back and control black America.
He helped lock up a bunch of dirty hippies.
Like I said...a FRight Wing Hero.

Constantly bad mouths our country.
Encourages violence and lawlessness in the streets.
Is out to destroy America.
Has close connections to communist Russia.
Associated with the worst underground/underworld elements in the nation.
Non-standard hairdo.
Made love not war during Vietnam.
Appears to be on a wide variety of mind altering drugs.
Looks physically dirty. That orange coloration is possibly from brick dust floating around whatever Manhattan tenement he's currently squatting in without paying rent.
Face it, he's one pair of daisy-patched jeans away from being the fourth fabulous furry freak brother.
It's like Chief Wiggum says: 'It's time for a good old fashioned hippy bashing.'
(By the way, the Beach Boys recorded a Manson song, entitled 'Cease to Exist', the Boys called it 'Never Learn Not to Love'. The Boys covering his song was significant, because Manson styled himself a musician, so getting a song of his published by them helped him confirm his self-styling.)
