For his Labor Day weekend trick, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka leveled the charge of McCarthyism at former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. This is a bit rich from a guy with blood on his hands -- and I don't say that figuratively, either.

At a September 2 meeting sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, Trumka claimed that "Palinism" was the "new McCarthyism" and warned that if she kept up her rhetoric she would be guilty of inciting her followers.

Oh gee thats a tough decision, fish or cut bait. support Sarah Palin or accept an Islamic Sharia America?

I believe its better to wear the label than wear the common clothes of a prisoner society.

When a Trotskyite like this guy calls you a McCarthyite, you wear it as a badge of honor.

I’d be delighted to be compared to “McCarthy”. McCarthy was completely vindicated in 1985 with the “Venona project” and was one of the greatest Americans of our time.

Good.

Joseph McCarthy was an American patriot who sacrificed his reputation, his health, and eventually, his life in bringing the pestilence of liberalism and its support of communism into the light of day.

God Bless Joseph McCarthy. If they want to pin that label on her, I am all for it.

She gains strength from every attack. They are just making her stronger and they don’t have a clue.

Considering that McCarthy was vindicated, being called a McCarthyite is an honor.
