I know that several people here on Madville are going to hate their Idols being accused of McCarthyism! Or maybe not, they may be into it themselves!!

Just a quick word of common sense here. Radio performers are entertainers. If you take what they say seriously, you might as well believe that wrestling is real.

These guys earn tremendous amounts of money by getting people all riled up. That is their job. But do yourselves a favor, people, don't confuse what they say with the real world.

Thank-you.

That is all.

Joseph McCarthy was right after all

Joseph McCarthy said in the early 1950s that he suspected there were over 50 Soviet/ communist sympathisers in the FDR and Truman White House. He was laughed at and scorned to an early death.

The media still talks about McCarthy in a nagative way.

In 1991, after the fall of the Soviet Union, the U.S. released secret documents it didn't want to release during the Cold War for fear of hurting any efforts of winning the Cold War. These secret documents were the Vinona Accords.

The Vinona Accords showed -- proved -- that not only was McCarthy right about there being 50 soviet spies working for the FDR/ Truman administrations, there was over 300 spies.

Still, you don't hear much about this outside the conservative sphere. This is just more proof of how powerful the liberal media was before the end of the Fairness Doctrine.

One can only wonder how many communist sympathizers are working in Washington in 2009. The way our government is headed, it appears there may be lot more than 300.

Look, Senator McCarthy held hearings where a witness would be harassed and threatened and where McCarthy would hold up a piece of blank paper and claim that it contained signed statements by this or that person to the effect that the witness was secretly a Muslim, oh my bad, actually it was communist.

Don't know if it is literally true, but there is a widely quoted remark that while McCarthy ruined many lives and careers with his careless accusations, he never actually uncovered a single real communist. To be sure, there were communists and communist spies in the US at that time, and probably still are, but McCarthy never found any. He only ever accused the innocent.

At the end of the day, just another self hating conservative homosexual self destructing in front of the nation. But he was one of the first, got to give him that much.

Jeeze, a few insults and the left accuses the right of bringing back McCarthyism? Wake me up when we have the congressional inquiries of normal Americans and when I can be kept from working because I'm "blacklisted" and start naming others to stay off it. Until then, it's just more stupid rhetoric in a sea of stupid, empty rhetoric.

P.S.: If you listen to the pundits on either side, you're an idiot. Make up your own mind.

If you're not outraged, you're simply not paying attention.

You're comparing a talk show host to Joseph McCarthy?? Laughable! You need both a history lesson and a perspective.

Next thing you know, the Huff Post and Lamparty will make a movie about a game-show host that moonlighted as a CIA assassin.....oh wait, that one's been done.

Right now there are two small communist nations: Cuba and North Korea. Being scared of communists is like being scared of dinosaurs.
