Judge Charles Pickering, a federal judge in Mississippi who defended the civil rights of blacks for years and defied the Ku Klux Klan back when that was dangerous, was depicted as a racist when he was nominated for a federal appellate judgeship.
"No one even mistakenly thought he was a racist. The point was simply to discredit him for political reasons-- and it worked."
