So, do the GOP candidates appear looney because they themselves are looney, or is it because they surround themselves with looney advisors? In the end, does it really matter?

Did she get mixed up between pictures of Cruz and McCarthy? And, really, “McCarthy was right!” should disqualify a person in politics from having any position, though I’m not at all surprised at this, or that it’s being used to support attacks on Muslims. Look for an angle of attack on Hillary to be Huma Abedin being a terrorist, that is sure to happen during the campaign.

the 1920s, ‘30s, ‘40s when communists, you know, the KGB, infiltrated our government

Appalling stupidity…

Cruz: I agree 100% on this. Just look at what comrade Obama has done to us. I agree with Hitler on many aspects including torture and hunting down communists.

and yet… here we are nearly 90 years later still allowing marginally intelligent people to give ignorant opinions about things they know nothing about and treating them with some respect instead of laughing at them…

“We can go all the way back, of course, to the time of the Cold War and back to the 1920s, ‘30s, ‘40s when communists, you know, the KGB, infiltrated our government at the very highest levels.”

WHAT. THE. F*CK!!!

This. This, right here, disqualifies Carnival Cruz immediately from any higher office and maybe even his current Federal office. Anyone who surrounds themselves with batsh*t crazy freaks is not qualified for the position of municipal raccoon control.

Ms. Lopez, please crawl back into whatever hole you and Joe McCarthy have been hiding in and stay there!

Unfortunately “Far Right” scam artists have written and published fiction under the label of history that “correct” the history that we grew up with. One of these so-called historical facts is that FDR’s administration was infiltrated by commies and the commies are still controlling the govt.

"We can go all the way back, of course, to the time of the Cold War and back to the 1920s, ‘30s, ‘40s when communists, you know, the KGB, infiltrated our government at the very highest levels.

a) they weren’t known as the KGB back then and b) is she inferring that Silent Cal was a pinko?

And then, like now, we were unprepared and in large measure unaware of what was going on, at least until the House Un-American Activities got rolling in the 1950s with Sen. Joseph McCarthy, who absolutely was spot-on in just about everything he said about the levels of infiltration,"

McCarthy got over on account of jaded hearts (like Elizabeth Bentley) realizing that maybe their time on the planet was limited. Now add to it that Ethel Rosenberg wasn’t likely an agent…and once again, why does the good shit happen, just as I’m about to go to work. Fuck.
