With the wingnuts spewing their venom regarding the release of Bowe Bergdahl, I really can’t find the words to express the utter disgust in which I hold these so-called ‘patriots’, a collection of the most abominable vermin and filth to have ever slithered into the spotlight of the American political scene in my life.

I’ll let Joseph Welch doing the speaking for me, in his retort to the vile and contemptible Senator Joseph McCarthy on June 9th, 1954.

Until this moment, Senator, I think I have never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Fred Fisher is a young man who went to the Harvard Law School and came into my firm and is starting what looks to be a brilliant career with us. Little did I dream you could be so reckless and so cruel as to do an injury to that lad. It is true he is still with Hale and Dorr. It is true that he will continue to be with Hale and Dorr. It is, I regret to say, equally true that I fear he shall always bear a scar needlessly inflicted by you. If it were in my power to forgive you for your reckless cruelty I would do so. I like to think I am a gentle man, but your forgiveness will have to come from someone other than me.

Senator, may we not drop this? We know he belonged to the Lawyers Guild. Let us not assassinate this lad further, Senator. You’ve done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?
