Guilt by association will not stand up in a court of law.
But this is what Fundamentalist Christians and conservative politicians have been doing since Ronald Reagan.
Reagan labelled the Hippies and Baby-Boomers: "unconscious agents of the devil".
By which he inferred that they were controlled by rock stars who practised Satanism.
But this is guilt by association.
The Hippies and Baby-Boomers do not even believe that their rock stars are Satanic - so how can they be guilty?
At worst they are the victims of Satanism not the perpetrators.
Even less so are the left-wing politicians that conservatives have tarred with the same brush.
This is blatant political propaganda.
It is demonization of your political opponent using guilt by association.
But we are not guilty.
And we never were!
