Sen. Kennedy: "It's McCarthyism of the first order"

MSNBC ^ | Sept. 28, 2004

[camle]

wasn't mccarthy a democrat? and didn't fat teddy's brother work for him? he has one heck of a nerve accusing the republicans of being mccarthy...

[TheBigB]

Nope, Joe was indeed a Republican.

Jabba the Ted.....what a POS

[dirtboy]

SEN. TED KENNEDY: Well, because this – the Republicans have run a very effective campaign of massive distortion, massive deception, and that’s what we have seen – in terms of John Kerry’s record. They haven’t defended their own positions. They haven’t had a debate on their own economic policies. They haven’t wanted a debate in terms of Iraq in and of itself. They have wanted a debate on education or healthcare. What they have done is spent all their resources in distorting and misrepresenting. It’s a campaign of anger and insult. And the most egregious examples are the examples of Vice President Cheney. When – he even goes on to suggest that the – al Qaeda wants John Kerry to win. That is the most outrageous charge. It’s the most anti-American – it’s McCarthyism of the first order. But that has been the mark over the course of this campaign. And the American people have

Translation: WAAAH! WAAAAH! WAAAH! We nominated a wuss and the pubbies are kicking his ass! Please make them stop!

The Kennedys and McCarthyism

[Verginius Rufus]

Joe McCarthy was a Republican but was a friend of the Kennedys...Bobby Kennedy asked Joe to be godfather to his oldest daughter, and flew all the way to Wisconsin for Joe's funeral.

[tkathy]

In this case it's Chris Matthews and the dumbell.

[meyer]

He says that like its a bad thing.

[Lunatic Fringe]

McCarthy was a Republican... and an idiot.

[Sleeping Freeper]

I don't think anyone could pay me enough to watch Chrissy the Teddy together. It turns my stomach just to think about it.

[BelegStrongbow]

Well, it's just more projection: the moment Dims realize people are on to their latest scheme, they accuse the Repubs of it. Classic projection. Mental illness is now a requirement for Democratic power, at least until Hitlery comes along. She's fix their mental wagons for 'em.

[DCPatriot]

Teddy...what a dumb, fat b*st*rd!

[Toespi]

Frankly, I think it is time that McCarthyism is revived in this country. There are too many pinkos who have invaded our government and Kennedy happens to be one of them.

[Izzy Dunne]

he even goes on to suggest that the – al Qaeda wants John Kerry to win.

Do you think it's not true, Ted?

[Frank_Discussion]

"it’s McCarthyism of the first order."

No Teddy, if that were true, Kerry and his merry band of she-men would have been properly grilled for their action in front of a Senate hearing and then led off in handcuffs and leg irons.

This doesn't sound like "McCarthyism" as much as it does "Borking".

[Primetimedonna]

It seems like the Democrats are in shock that the Republicans are finally fighting back. They've been so used to being the only ones playing "dirty" that they can't handle it when the Republicans cry foul and actually get some attention from the new media.

Hey Ted, how about a big cup of STFU...

[My2Cents]

I don't think anyone could pay me enough to watch Chrissy the Teddy together.

As someone here on FR coined it, "The Spitter and the Swimmer."
