I was mostly nodding along until the ‘McCarthyism’ give-away.
Yes! We are thinking along the same lines, no doubt. Even today conservative people in and around Hollywood when off the record admit that there is a bias against anything and anyone that is or who is not Communist / Socialist / "Progressive" / Marxist in their beliefs!
Right you are—the obligatory bow to “civility.”
Pretty rich. Comes right back down to the old GOP line: “I liked what McCarthy was trying to do, but I despised his methods.” Now we’ve got to listen to Rove saying that Robertson was within his rights to say what he believed but, oh, the crassness and crudity were beyond the pale.
Well, McCarthy was hunting commies, not ducks; and Robertson was merely describing what the Bible condemned.
Maybe the GOP (I have no hope at all for the dems and their acolytes) ought to consider the crassness and crudity of communism and the gay agenda instead of hip-shooting the canaries in the coal mine.
