re: #202 Killgore Trout

I just think the crazy has pretty much reached critical mass. This is certainly benefiting the JBS but it’s going to cost the Republican party elections. These conspiracies are leading Republicans to become vocal supporters of some very unpopular ideas.
The BP apology is a prime example. BP’s has a 6% approval rating in America. That’s down in the territory of Saddam Husein and coddling them as victims is bad news for Republicans.
Beck’s praise of McCarthy is the same thing. McCarthy is one of the most hated and ugliest people in recent American history and Republicans are fucked if they try to undo that. The American public will never endorse a return of McCarthyism.

The American people not of an age to remember McCarthy think that “McCarthyism” is broadcasting ventriloquism on the radio.
