Ok, that might be so, i guess i dont follow US politics as close as i thought.

As for Palme its true that he has a responsibility as a leader even if he wasnt the driving force for the issue from the start. He didnt exactly argue against it publicly.

But i think the hate against Palme was more complex than a single issue and has much more to do with him being a loud and wellspoken voice for the left during the cold war / culture wars of the late 60s - early 70s. Added to that his upperclass background that seemed to annoy the right wing.
