Mr. Trump simply ASKED NICELY that Mr. Khan’s WIFE be
ALLOWED to speak!!! - OK to me. Unless Mr. Khan does not
ALLOW his wife to speak!!
Let’s hope that when Trump takes over as president he cleans house by starting to get rid of Ryan as speaker!
Hillary (I call her HITLER-Y) has just DISAPPEARED!!
WHERE, OH WHERE, is HILLARY? She’s missing all those
3:00 AM phone calls! Like the desperate ones from
Benghazi.
Earth to waPo. Nobody under 50 knows who the hell McCarthy is.
The Washington Post is basically a mainstream media Salon at this point.
Lol. Is getting pure comical.
They get no support from me for sure.
Her total lack of decency has worked for many years.
Ya mean if you tell a lie long enough some will eventually believe it? No doubt about it. But those who are dumb enough to buy or support something without conducting their own research or doing their own homework will go through life being conned and ripped off anyway.
I can assure you those who still buy into the MSM are either not capable of basic critical thought or are simply in on the con job.
The USSR starved children to death during the Holodomor.
Nah, Trump’s living in a different with a wholly different populus.
How did Gilligan get off the island?
McCarthy was proven right when the Venona Papers were released by the KGB in 1995.
Indeed! The fact that the Venona Papers were not much covered in the MSM is one of the major scandals of media malfeasance.
Red Badger: You are right about Joe McCarthy not being a “very charismatic character”. He was a mean SOB but as you said, he “was correct”. My late friend Stan Evan’s last book “Blacklisted by History” was, perhaps, the most extensively researched book on McCarthy and I watched as Stan (an old friend and publisher of one of my studies on the Left), did his research at the National Archives.
In fact, I helped him to understand one of the “lists” of communists in the government that he found. It was not a specific list, but one of US government employees during a certain period of time which included many who had been identified in congressional hearings as CPUSA members and a few who were id. Soviet spies, including Alger Hiss.
McCarthy, with the help of his very shrewd staff attorney, Roy Cohn, definitely vetted their information on who the people were who appeared before, SHOCK, his Senate. Permanent Investigations Committee SUBCOMMITTEE, not the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HCUA - not the Communist inversion of House Un-American Activities Committee - HUAC).
HUAC as a term, like “McCarthyism”, was created by the Communist Party USA in order to smear the committees and the individuals on them who opposed and tried to expose communists/organizations/activities in the US and abroad.
This manifested itself in the early 1960’s with the CPUSA operation “Operation Abolition” re getting rid of HCUA (and the Senate equivalent, the Sen. Internal Security Subcommittee - SISS - of the Sen. Judiciary Committee).
Operation Abolition was created and led by a CPUSA front known over the years as the “National Committee to Abolish HUAC” and in 1969, it became the “National Committee to Abolish HUAC/HISC (House Internal Security Committee)”.
Later it became the “National Committee Against Repressive Legislation”, the Chicago chapter (Chicago Committee to Defend the Bill of Rights), containing a number of Obama/Axelrod friends and supporters (i.e. Don Rose, for one. CPUSA leader Richard Criley for another).
Oh, by the way, I was an undercover member of NCAHUAC/HISC and met the best CPUSA member/supporter attorneys in the country including William Kunstler and Arthur Kinoy, and Obama’s personal physician (later on), Dr. Quentin Young (id. CPUSA, Medical Committee for Human Rights, and Physicians for a National Health Plan - PNHP).
We really did have a PARTY at the March 1969 conference in DC (Dodge House). A full list of registered delegates/attendees can be found in the California State Senate Report on Un-American Activities (1970).
Getting back to McCarthy, he was somewhat heavy-handed in the way he handled his hearings but his information was correct. You have to look at the documentation and understand the character of the messenger. Documents stand up in court (except under the Obama/Holder/Lynch regime). They either are real (not forgeries) or not. They present information which needs to be properly evaluated, but their existence is valid.
The goal of the CPUSA and their supporters, including many leaders (over time) of the ACLU), is to, like Obama and Hillary, deny their existence or validity or context.
When you testify before Congress under oath, as I have in both Executive and Open sessions, your documents are vetted ahead of time (in many cases) and you have to give their provenance in detail (such as my Vietnam/Cambodia documents) and those I got from CPUSA/SWP “Hanoi Lobby” fronts during my undercover days.
Read Stan Evan’s book on McCarthy if you want to see a professional researcher/writer in action. It will be worth the cost and the time.
Stan - RIP, a lifelong freedom protector of America.
Back then, the left still pretended to be decent. Those days are long gone.
It'll just prove how bankrupt democrats are. They have nothing new to offer the People. Jus the same old Big Government lies...
Vote Trump!
Is this plagiarism? I think Andrea Mitchell (or one of them, hard to separate them ) said the same thing on a Sunday talk show. The media is really bending over backwards to outdo themselves on Trump. Even worse than they did on Reagan.
With a vain "reach across the aisle" wacko-bird coasting on sentimental and suspect credentials and the narcissistic Mormon author of Romneycare who folded like a cheap suit when his cheesy smile failed to dazzle his opponent in the debates?—couldn't even stand up to Monica Crowley, much less the muslim brotherhood's man in Washington? I don't think so. They were nominated by the media specifically because they would be so easy for that same media cabal to take down.
Even their clichés have become clichéd. The Democrats truly have no new ideas. And now, the really bad guys aren't even known to the public because the media aren't doing the job any more; and besides, the really bad guys are the ones who are funding the Democrats' campaigns.
