And You Thought McCarthyism Was Dead
(Guest Post by Big Tent Democrat)
From the extreme Right Wing Republican site Red State:
Democrats have been increasingly distracted by an effort to discredit our President. In the process of carrying out this parochial assault, they have egregiously demeaned our great Republic. This has largely been ensconced in and driven by domestic political motivation but found a complimentary partner in the global socialist agenda.
. . .To make a bad situation worse, a New York neighborhood mostly inhabited by Democrats [that's Harlem to you and me, in case you weren't keeping up with the race baiting Republicans] hosts the "after party" for Chavez and cheers his anti American remarks.
. . . Appropriately, this specious attempt to advance parochial politics, disguised in the name of debate and Constitutional liberties has come full circle and roosted on their doorstep. It is an action that is un-American since it demeans our values, underestimates our intelligence and obscures or primary goal in a time of war, to keep our citizens safe.
Memo to wingnuts, "socialism" is passe as a boogeyman. It's "Islamofascism" we're aligned with now. You need a few lessons in the New McCarthyism.
