DescriptionA web of misfortune seems only to deepen for Baltimore's best-known Socialist, A. Robert Kaufman.

The perennial candidate - who has never won an election - was nearly knifed to death last year by a tenant in his West Baltimore boarding house, and suffered kidney failure as a result of the injuries. Since then, he hasn't been shy about asking just about anyone - even his imprisoned attacker - for a kidney that might turn around his health.

And now, like déjà vu, he's been attacked again, by another tenant.

Returning home from his thrice-weekly dialysis treatment, Kaufman was struck in the head with a brick and robbed of about $200 Wednesday night by a man renting a room in the three-story Walbrook Junction Victorian, according to Kaufman and police.
