'The president is adopting a tactic that takes us back to the darkest days of the '50s when you could use the word socialist to kill somebody's career or to kill an idea but that trick has been tried so many times that I think it's losing all meaning,'

These people are calling themselves socialists and say what they want is socialism. "Progressive" has been their most recent euphemism, but now DSA members running for and getting elected to public office are open about it. How is taking them at their word some kind of McCarthyism? I think William F. Buckley, Jr. pointed out that calling someone a communist when they are, in fact, a communist is not any kind of slander.

Queer isnt is that we are told calling out Reds echoes the ‘dark days’ of the 1950s when card carrying lovers of Joseph Stalin, butcher of tens of millions, were exposed?

Yet all we’ve heard from the Left for the past two years is “be affraid of russian influence on facebook!”
