UPDATE: "Yes, it takes a brave man to randomly accuse someone of something horrible, based on no evidence and then demand they refute the evidence that you don't have. So tonight, I am accusing [insert the name of your favorite demagogue] of being a baby-eating werewolf. There it is. It's out there now.
Do I have evidence? No. But someone has to stand up to him. Where do I find the courage?"
The Republi-con campaign veers "into frightening and familiar territory, a throwback to a part of life in the 1950s for which no one should harbor any nostalgia." Read the Washington Post, Are Bachmann and Sununu attacks part of a new McCarthyism?
For those of you who forgot, McCarthy was a Republican party Senator who made "demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character and/or patriotism of political opponents."
Every town has a McCarthy. Here in NW Florida, he's a pastor.
