Hillary Fan Barney Frank Accuses Bernie Sanders of 'McCarthyism'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Bernie Sanders: rabid right-winger? A senior Hillary surrogate has accused Bernie Sanders of "McCarthyism," of all things. Has Bernie's big Wisconsin win knocked the Clinton campaign off its moorings?

Five years ago, I wrote that the irascible Barney Frank could pick a fight in a phone booth. Further proof came on Chris Hayes' MSNBC show tonight, as Hillary-fan Frank jumped ugly with the Bernie-backer Robert Reich. The ostensible topic was whether Sanders had the substance to back up his plan to break up the big banks. But the big bottom line is that Barney Frank accused Sanders of "McCarthyite" tactics and "McCarthyism." In the liberal lexicon, them's serious fightin' words. Will Hillary stand by Barney's accusation tomorrow?

Very true: there were many Communists around at the time. But pretty sure ol’ Barney didn’t mean it as a compliment.

I doubt Bernie's young fans and millennials even know what McCarthyism means, much less know communism's bloody history and socialism's failures.

Very true, which explains why they’re so susceptible to “socialism.”

Can a commie be accused of McCarthyism? McCarthy would have had Sanders strung up.

With all these revelations coming out of Panama about big money and politicians all over the world Bernie is turning up the heat on “The Best President Money Will Buy”.

Bawney thought it sounded better to call someone a right winger than a “wabid, weft, winger.” I believe I know how he lost his ability to pronounce certain letters correctly.

Barney Frank—One of the biggest culprits of the folks who terminally screwed our country over. I hope I get to see him put in prison under a Trump administration.

Bernie seeing communists everywhere? And Hillary calls him on it. Looks like I’m going to need a better cerebral cortex.

Talk about a cat fight among Marxists. This takes the cake (with a couple of guys on it). One leftist attacking another Marxist defending a third Marxist.

You couldn’t get a better Marxist circular firing squad (I was going to say another type of “circle” but thought I’d let it pass so I wouldn’t be considered a rightest jerk).

Hell is being locked in a room with Frank, Reich and Sanders for eternity, or a week, whichever comes first.

Dems are freaking out thinking their race is nasty. It is more of a love fest.
