Then why do the popular leaders of the Dems - Hillary, Obama, Jackson,
et al - not openly distance themselves from the foul offal that emits
from the radical Left? Why are they silent about the Left attacks on
wealth, Capitalism, individual liberty, personal responsibility?

Perhaps for the same reasons that the Popular leaders of the
Reps do not openly distance themselves from the skinheads,
the 'militias', and the Ku Klux Klan?

First of all, there is a considerable difference between the
various milita, the Klan, and the skinheads. This may be
a fine point, but not all or perhaps even most, militia are
remotely touting the kind of evil the Klan and the skinheads
endorse, but, again, I digress.

The reason the Rs don't distance themselves from these people
is because pretty much no one on the nominal Right (the Republicans)
cites any of the groups you mention as deep intellectual
foundations for their views. However, Chomsky and his ilk
*are* cited increasingly by the nominal Left (the Democrats)
with admiration and respect. (In this paragraph, I am using
the word "nominal" as a contrast to "radical".)

Maybe they BOTH realize that no reasonable person imagines
the association in the first place.

Probably true at the voter level. Not so true among the loudest
popular voices among the Ds.
