‘Joe McCarthy’s Party Is Alive’

When the Hell did it ever die? The GOP will always attract the racist, inbred morons that feed off their specious lies.

America, fuck yeah.

BrianK – I’d hope so… I’d be happier than a pig rolling in slops to get a couple dozen more of Bernie Sanders in Congress!

Rep. Spencer Bachus informs us that he has a list of 17 “socialists” in the House of Representatives. And? More like Jim Backus.

Just what do the Republicans actually think “socialism” means, anyway?

“Bad.”

Just what do the Republicans actually think “socialism” means, anyway? The definition’s been blurred so much that it pretty much seems to mean “Not Conservative”. Which might explain why it’s becoming so popular.

It wasn’t an actual quote but a joke that I suppose a hypocrite like Oriely would espouse. It is correct that Orielly has not been a fan, but if you look at his words and put them next to McCarthy’s words there is certian style and subject matter they both share. Sorry for the mix up:)

Has Rep. Bachus talked to Senator Bernie Sanders about this? I think Bernie would be pleasantly surprised to find out there are at least 16 “fellow travelers” in Congress.

I read on another blog that the Republicans have been using the term, ‘Socialism’ as a slur against the Democrats for so long, that it is causing a rise in popularity for socialism.

Oops.

I will say, however, that if O’Reilly didn’t like McCarthy, I imagine part of it was that he didn’t have enough savvy to survive being torn apart by that liberal media darling Edward Murrow.

I agree, Coulter was the one who got in…well, not trouble, so much as more of the negative attention she feeds on…for canonizing McCarthy a few years back.

I thought it was Coulter who had the hard-on for McCarthy, not O’Reilley.

White Whale, did O’Reilly actually say that? The one time I have heard him mention McCarthy’s name, on his now-defunct radio show, he was actually (to my surprise) kind of critical of the guy.

The first wave of bank bail-outs began under Bush II.

Is he a socialist?

The party of IOKIYAR will never understand its own raging hypocrisy.
