McCarthyism Reborn-Gop Painting Ned Lamont As A Commie

McCarthyism Reborn-Gop Painting Ned Lamont As A Commie

A excellent read on how the GOP is back to its old tricks of slandering and swiftboating political adversary's.
The message, win at all cost, lie, spin, cheat and/or steal if necessary.
Family values and the party of extreme high moral values wins out again.
Thanks GOP for leading the way again..

In case you thought McCarthyism in the press died out in the late-1950s, consider this past SundayÂ’s editorial in the daily newspaper in Waterbury, Connecticut. At least Ann Coulter, an avowed fan of Sen. Joseph McCarthy, has moved on to current threats (terrorists and other liberals), while the aptly named Republican-American, Sunday circ 60,000, is still obsessed with Communists.

ItÂ’s almost quaint, but as the author of a book about 1950s politics, I have to add that Red-baiting is no joke, even when the Red Menace is no more.

But that doesn’t mean that Ned Lamont isn’t a Commie. Here are a few excerpts from the Waterbury paper’s Sunday editorial. It’s titled “Ned Lamont’s True Colors” and I think you can guess what color they are referring to:

“(L)iberal journalists adore him because they share his world view on abortion, homosexual marriage, universal health care, racial quotas, loopy environmentalism and especially the war against Islamic terrorism.

“They are blood brothers, or more accurately, fellow travelers. Just as journalism has become a hornet's nest of socialism (communism not yet perfected), if you shake Mr. Lamont's family tree, a lot of Red apples will fall.
