Has 'Palinism' Morphed Into McCarthyism? (Barf Alert!!!)

IBD Editorials ^ | August 17, 2009 | RICHARD COHEN

[Terpfen]

IBD actually printed this?

[Kaslin]

[nickcarraway]

Palin is the victim of it, right?

[muawiyah]

So Richard has finally turned to using McCarthyism to make his points. Used to be he could write logically.

Sad to see a good mind simply turn to gelatin ~ overuse of Versed probably ~ kind of a cheap Michael Jackson sort of thing.

[democratsaremyenemy]

But now we know that McCarthy was right......

[FlingWingFlyer]

I couldn’t tell you Dicky boy but I do know that anti-Palinism has morphed into the Schutzstaffel.

[Kaslin]

Yes she is

[HiTech RedNeck]

LOL!

Amazing how she took two words, “Death Panel,” and drove the beast back like a vampire recoiling from a cross.

[Kaslin]

IBD didn’t write it. That idiot Cohen did

[Kaslin]

He sure was.

[UB355]

Funny, thier undies are actually in a bundle.

[guitarplayer1953]

IBD printed it so they are in collusion with him in my book. One less rag to read.

[Clintonfatigued]

It’s BS.

[marron]

Venona Papers.

You need a better class of writer. You could probably do better here at FR.

Oh, and anyone who doesn’t know that Palin was right hasn’t read any of the health plan, and hasn’t been listening to what O says when he thinks he’s among friends, and doesn’t know much about how health care already works.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Evidence that sometimes came decades later showed that American academia and politics WAS rife with Soviet planted communist lefties. McCarthy’s trouble was that he couldn’t accurately see the rat he was smelling, and enough innocent folks were accused that he lost his credibility.

[airborne]

But now we know that McCarthy was right......

Just goes to show how poorly educated most Americans are about our history.

[GodGunsGuts]

Who is this leftist idiot, and what is he doing at IBD? First, McCarthy was a hero, and his charges against the Communists who were subverting our government were dead-on....as are Palin’s charges against Zero’s socialist health care takeover plan.

[Stepan12]

No! I haven't read this. I despise this weasel.

Let's see.... According to him, Israel is a mistake. Now support for Sarah Palin is a mistake? Or evil?

I note the weasel Cohen uses the word McCarthyism. The late Robert Morros (sp) was assigned to trace where that word came from. He found it came from the Communist paper, "The Daily Worker" (now "The Daily World").

As Liberalism is so close to Communism these days, it's only natural that Cohen recycles obnoxious, Communist smear tags to attack the thrilla from Wasilla.
