To be fair he’s probably so used to the Nazi narrative they’ve been using he just got confused.

In the 1930’s the NYT was crushing on Stalin.

Tax dollars shouldn’t be funding any of that nonsense in the first place.

It’s amusing how loudly liberals proclaim their fear of speaking.

My version of McCarthyism would replace the communism with socialism. Are you now or have you ever been a member of the socialist party?

Well, the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was a standing committee of the United States House of Representatives, created in 1938 to investigate alleged disloyalty and subversive activities on the part of private citizens, public employees, and those organizations suspected of having communist ties.

However, McCarthy was a Senator. Thus he was not a party to the (HUAC). He ran his own investigation into the communist infiltration threat from 1947-1959 in the Senate. So, yes if one is going to accurately talk about McCarthyism, then your argument is completely spot on, and Ed Markey is full of BS for going back to the 1930s as the beginning of McCarthyism. 🙂👍

This is just meant to be a confirmation of what you said, by providing others with more information.

“”‘Return to McCarthyism’: Democratic senator calls Trump authoritarian for targeting elitist institution’s funding””

Stop threatening us with a good time, leftists. I can’t take much more of this ‘winning’... and a real and legitimate return to McCarthyism would probably put me over the ‘ecstatic limit’ and kill me.

He says it like that’s a bad thing. I pray to God we do return to McCarthyism and more besides. McCarthy was right!
