What the Khans can teach us about the Republican nominee's vulnerabilities....
....Khan’s words call to mind another unexpected moment from more than 60 years ago, when another dignified lawyer rebuked Sen. Joe McCarthy....
....Welch drew blood from McCarthy with his famous question: “Have you no sense of decency, sir?”

Joe McCarthy was falsely attacked and smeared, and now the Demagogues are using the same tired playbook again.

Joe McCarthy was brought down by attacks on his decency. Trump will lose the same way. But Joe McCarthy turned out to be correct, and those "attacks on his decency" turned out to be lies.
I think McCarthy may have been the closest we ever came to eradicating this Liberal/Communist infestation in positions of power here in the United States.
Unfortunately, the communist Media promulgated these attacks on McCarthy and so thereby protected their traitorous movement.

Not going to work. Public not as gullible as it used to be. If that were the case he would never have made it in Republican primary.

Liberals know all about decency.

Nope! Although McCarthy was correct, he wasn’t very charismatic and people didn’t like him. Trump has no such problem.......

Yep. And Trump is busy getting non stop fragged by the GOPe. Time for Trump to have a closed door heart to heart with Amnesty Ryan. Does Paul Ryan really want to destroy the GOP?

They’re going to accuse him of being prejudiced against Muslims.
It was no more wrong to be prejudiced against Communists.
And pray tell, what’s the difference?
