I thought Mr. Perlstein was still a Freeper but I could not find RickPerlstein, the poster; I'm sure he used his name to post.

I condole with him in his loss and know the feeling having lost grandparents and parents.

Yes, Mr. O'Reilly is like the famous senator; to wit, Mr. O'Reilly is being made the issue rather than answer the issues he raises.

McCarthy and the CP/USA-coined word, McCarthyism, became the issue in the 1950's and internal threats to national security were forgotten -- except by tens of millions of us Americans. We were not so "offended" by the Senator's lack of couth.

I wanted Mr. Perlstein to see my post hoping he could explain why the left has nothing but contempt and contumely 99+ percent of time. That ain't no way to dialogue. That's, in their own word, McCarthyism.
