>This kind of scary hatred, my dad used to tell me, comes only from the right wing -- in his day from people such as the late Senator Joseph McCarthy.<

Man! Lanny is one badly misinformed fella! Senator McCarthy was right on in the '50's and what he fought against then is tragically too alive today! God bless McCarthy's soul, God bless the right wing, and God save all the rest of us!

Hey Lanny, McCarthy was right. Google up something called VENONA.

The House Committee On Un-American Activities stretches back to the 1930s. It wasn't all McCarthy.

And the Communists in America in the 1930s urged "peace" and no war with Hitler (until he double crossed Uncle Joe Stalin).
