The fear of McCarthism has been and is palpable. So much so that a discourse on the DSA was done only in whispers, or among the choir to themselves. Now that may change because of this book. Ann said what dummys like me would love to have said, in a best selling book for all to see(COVER) and read. David missed that in his screed. The democrats, all of them includeing Lieberman have no credibilty. So that is why it will depend on a "conservative" to discredit her or try to. Takeing the sting of her words away or try to.
Resurrecting McCarthy she did and inflamed and breathed life into the hearts of defeated and disgusted voters like myself. Maybe voting will work again. Powerful words that needed to be said. So guys like myself can invoke his name again. And maybe even in Wash D.C. cloakrooms too because obviously most of our reps. are as dumb as me. Us dummys can't no won't separate the Hiss's and Bonior's, or Howard Deans.
Ann writes with a (KISS)keep it simple stupid flair documented and referenced. A scholarly approach to writeing about a burning building bores me and I maybe not be alone. Powerful book that cuts McCarthy baiting off at the knees..
hosepipe, you're definitely no dummy! Great post!
