Is Senator Ted Cruz Our New McCarthy?

Gee and I thought the new communists were the Tea Party members, sometimes called teabaggers by the neoMcCarthy types.

LJ, you are part of the latest McCarthy movement, vilifying a group because of their beliefs and refusing to discuss the topics related in any detail.

I guess not that I think about it all people that try to group together and vilify others are McCarthy types. Perhaps this is McCarthyBound.

What dark place did you pull that moronic idea out of?...Certainly not from anyone on the left in this forum.

Nah, just the McCarthy tactics that were so blatantly attempted by Cruz, both at the Hagel hearing, and now the history of the last time he tried it...of course, at a NeoBagger prayer-meetin' / political rally in Austin...

There's a difference between vilifying cretins who try those specific tactics, and the ones who support them; and trying to use the term to just condemn everybody who thinks the extremists on the right are nuts. But since you already know who you are, I'm not interested in your troll-tactics.

gotta agree on that note

Interesting article.
