In that case, why do you attribute to him evil saying that he didn't say?

I'm just amazed at how people wish to immortalize him as if he was some
type of political sage....


Now I agree with you there. He was not a sage. Just a writer with
unusual perceptions and the ability to communicate them. IMHO Hunter
Thompson was kind of a sad sack, although I thought his writing was
often pretty funny.
