This attack by Sen. Reid on private citizen Rush is reminscent of those Stalinistrpurges caused by the assassination of Kirov (murdered by Stalin himself according to the great Robert Conquest).
Stalin and Ehzov knew that the people who were brought up on charges, Bukharin; etc., were innocent of the crimes they were accused of. Sen. Reid; etal knew Rush Limbaugh did not refer to regular Iraqi protesting soldiers as phony soldiers but went ahead with harassing Rush via his employer anyway.
The Randi Rhodes incident is reminiscent of when Stalin put on trial Molotov's driver for accidentally driving into a ditch with Molotov (see Robert Conquest). At least, the driver up on the Stalinist show trial did drive accidentally into a ditch; however, Randi Rhodes fell down because she was drunk and the listeners of Rush Limbaugh are blamed for an incident that was entirely Randi Rhodes's fault(!). The lib/commies have surpassed their real Commie models in their smearing of their opponents (us). This is how crazy things are today.
Your reply brings back memories of my Russian history classes in college. I had a professor that taught REAL history back then.
It is too bad that most of the American population has never had to study this.
I believe the liberals stopped the teaching of real history in schools so they can foist their lies (Reid, Pelosi, et al.) to further their dangerous and anti-american agenda on the country.
If the country does not wake up to this I fear for my children.
I fought the Cold War and now wonder how we fight this new, internal cold War.
