Recent comments from several members of Congress recently have raised again the ugly and hateful spectre of the 1950's and McCarthyism. We are still feeling the effects of McCarthyism sixty years and a new century later. Much of the partisan rancor we now face can be traced directly back to Tail Gunner Joe and McCarthyism –even the words are the same, commie, fascist, Nazi, un-American, traitor.
We must never allow this type of un-American persecution to reoccur. Ever again.
There are many ways to be an American, McCarthyism isn’t one of them.
Any elected official engaged in such truly un-American activities must be called out and called to account, forcefully, immediately.
Call for the censure of these legislators, now.
