Not an Onion story. I swear. Though I wouldnt blame readers for doubting me.
The Washington Post published an article today by Avi Selk ripping Roy Moores campaign for describing Moore as being the victim of a witch hunt.
So whats got Avis undies in a twist? The fact that most victims of actual witch hunts, like the ones in Salem, Mass. back in the day, were women.
Believe it or not, the headline is: Roy Moore says hes a witch hunt victim. Tell that to thousands of women killed in real ones.
Get the rest of the story here.

The issue is never the issue.
There WERE witches in The Crucible, by the way.
Just as there were Communists infested in our government serving on behalf of the USSR (as willing agents and also a red dupe pawns of the KGB).
The bigger picture from Dissent magazine and others of the day was that Communists (and witches) in and of themselves were not ‘evil’.

The term has been in common usage for politically inspired false charges for decades.
It has been used mostly by leftists attempting to prevent investigations of Communists.

Wait until someone tells these feminazis that men too have been the victims of sexual abuse, assault, and harassment at the hands and mouths of both men and women.
Destroys their #metoo narrative when it’s happened to both sexes in surprisingly large numbers.

They’ll probably express outrage at the term “kangaroo court” as well.

Is this the same WaPo that claimed Melania wearing white was racist but Hitlery wearing white was a sign of purity for being president??

The real issue is that there were NO witches killed in Salem. Every single person put to death claimed to be a Christian all the way to death, never recanting.
The only witch, was the self proclaimed one, who pointed out others to be tried and put to death. Even Cotton Mather realized afterwards how wrong this was and publicly apologized in the State House.
