  The funny thing is that during the McCarthy era these folks would've been right behind him. They don't seem to see the irony in spending the last 2 months calling Obama and other Dems communist, socialist, commrade, etc. and then comparing Barney Frank to McCarthy.

    And they seem to forget that McCarthy was a Republican. If he were alive today, he would be worshiped by faux and am hate radio.

      McCARTHY is actually loved by a lot on the RIGHT WING RADIO which is a sad commentary on the situation today.

  I wonder what sound is made when the talking points fax comes over the machine. My guess is the sound Karl Rove makes when he settles into a beanbag chair.
