The fact that they're not attacking Bush III, Milt, Sweater Vest, Cryin' Cheeto, Yertl, Gomer or RPII like they do Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin tells me all I need to know about who they fear and who is complicit in their schemes. BTW, are they adding estrogen to the school lunches and drinking fountains these days?

These wacko’s know who their enemies are. They will never give up whacking on Joe McCarthy.

What is this guy ranting about?

“a reminder of the global threat we face”

Hardly inflammatory.

Ted has the GOP-wing of the Democrat party and the rest of the Left peeing in their panties.

Sympathy for the savages, but never for their victims.

The first thing liberals do is to feign sympathy with the victims of terrorist atrocity and to renounce (as a pretext) the violence. They then directly launch into some diatribe where they try to blame this on the conservative du jour. Why the hell even write the first two paragraphs then? Really.

It’s all about the game with them. The game of casting blame and focusing the idiots’ minds on some ooga booga conservative or GOP target. They’d be the first to blow your brains out when they get full control.

McCarthy was right. And now our entire government is infested with communists—from the highest federal office right down to community and school district level and everywhere in between.

And look at the two photos at the link. They look almost nothing alike, unless you squint so hard your eyes are almost closed. Chrissy “Peace Corps” Matthews has been harping on this since Ted came to Washington.

These same guardians of free speech who hail the murdered Charlie Ebdo journalists would never tolerate the satirical cartoons they published about Mohammed on college campuses. They will be hounded off campuses for hate speech. See what happened to Hirsan Ali at Brandeis. Hypocritical bastards.

Did the author of this tripe fest (” oooo-Cruz looks like McCarthy”)miss the 2000 Nigerians murdered by Boko Haram ? Racism of the first order.

Everyone should have the right to say

speech that harms like yelling fire in a theater is not protected by the first amendment and the 1st should not protect fraudulent political speech as well because political lies invariably leads to harming the common good of the people

The moment they started railing on Ted Cruz, I knew he was my guy.

They get more of a response if they can work Cruz or Palin into a headline.

I notice that the article really doesn't have much to do with either Cruz or McCarthy, but more people -- whatever side they're on - probably clicked on it than if McConnell or Boehner or Romney or Huckabee or Santorum were mentioned.

If you look through old magazines from 50 years back, Barry Goldwater's name is all over the place, because he symbolized or epitomized one side of the political debate, but he wasn't at all successful when he ran for president.

Time has proven McCarthy was indeed correct.

Almost five paragraphs before it gets to the point.

This goober doesn’t know the first thing about Senator McCarthy.
