Just a thought.
How would you add to this thought.
How did it happen that Minnesota gave us both Joe McCarthy and Ilhan Omar. Does it mean anything?

Stop it the JFK worshippers on this site will get the vapors!
Wrong guy but Joe McCarthy was correct on Russia spies in the USA.
FDR had them in his cabinet.
FDR staff tried to get U235 sent to Russia under Lend-Lease until Oppenheimer found out and killed it.
Both fully documented in Richard Rhoads “The building of the Hydrogen Bomb”
Yes he was right. Blacklisted by History is a good read on McCarthy.
The leftist narrative as usual is 100% inaccurate.
McCarthy was almost always right, as was proved after the collapse of the Soviet Union when their archives were opened to scrutiny.
And C. Joe was proven right by Soviet archives that became available in the early 90’s, the Venona Papers.
wow, do you remember a good citation for that.I bought Anne Coulter’s book but never had time to read it, I wonder did she do the journalism for that? I’ll have to try to find it.
you just answered my question posed in 26
Even Hubert Humphrey wouldn’t recognize today’s Democratic Party.
post 25 answered my question, thanks
Thanks, hadn’t been aware of this with all the accolades heaped on JFK around here. Do you know who wrote this one? I read Theodore White’s Making of the President 1960, and I don’t remember this as part of the campaign It would have occurred in the context of Ike’s Operation Wetback, so I wonder why not
Yeah, here’s the book you need that leans heavily on that source:

thanks
And already mentioned upthread.
Agree bad things that have a slow growth rate grow deep and more deadly.
One was a good guy, WW2 vet/hero, anti communist while the other is moslem, communist/democrat filth.
MN gave me My Pillow...and Michelle Bachman.
oops yeah you’re right.
Yeah that’s probably a better match.
that’s what the miracle of population displacement can do for a state.
In 1979 Eugene McCarthy addressed the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) at their annual conference, held that year in Washington, DC. When he was introduced, the delegates started chanting, "Joe! Joe! Joe!"
Another anecdote about Gene McCarthy, during the ‘68 campaign when George Romney (Mitt’s dad) said he was brainwashed on Vietnam, McCarthy quipped that apparently Romney needed only a light rinse.
