You know, this is the first instance of the word “McCarthyism” being used in print that I’ve seen during the course of this election? It’s just weird. Out of all the “Mc” derogatory nicknames lobbed at McCain, that one was never used, even with him and Sarah Palin out on the campaign trail, calling Obama a socialist.
I heard the McCarthyism slur slung around a bit during the campaign from the MSM but I can’t recall if it was in print. It usually was in response to Sarah on the campaign trail bringing up the Ayers connection and using pro-American terminology.
Obama is a socialist.
