re: #108 EPR-radar

The RW nutjobs are trying to rehabilitate McCarthy because they see that kind of reckless demagoguery as a model to emulate and follow. Revisionist history to improve McCarthy’s reputation is naturally required.

It is also telling that McCarthy railed against Eisenhower for being a communist (also a central plank of the John Birch society viewpoint).

Today’s wingnuts might not refer to Eisenhower as a communist (at least the ones that remember there is no longer the USSR boogieman), but they certainly view him as an enemy RINO.

I think it all relates to Edward Bernays. It worked, it worked very well and we don’t have anyone to write a new script that works as well. People want their myths.
