[quote=“fred smith”][quote]The fags too. And the feminists. And the atheists, agnostics and pagans. And the Jews. Take all their damn passports. And the liberals, the lefties, the peace protesters, environmentalists, civil rights agitators, Democrats and the card-carrying members of the ACLU, as well as those without cards. And the lawyers, don’t forget the lawyers. And the pimps, prostitutes, dealers, druggies and drunks. Take their passports and string 'em up high. And the teachers, of course, implanting crazy ideas in kid’s heads. And the whores, harlots and hos; don’t want no nappy-headed hos.
Hell, Travis Bickle had it right: “[The] whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets.”[/quote]
I note that you have not replied to any of my earlier remarks.[/quote]
Nonsense. I’ve replied to most of them.
I thought we’d already discussed this and it’s abundantly clear. Here, read these:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Scare

No, it wouldn’t be naughty. It would be irrelevant. This thread concerns whether Joe McCarthy was a slimebag – which we have all said we agree upon – and whether McCarthyism was a despicable low point in US history as almost all of us believe, or was totally justifiable and proper, as you, JAS and Ann Coulter apparently believe. This thread does not concern whether Stalin was a mass murderer. I doubt you could find anyone to disagree with that. Nor does it concern whether the US system of government is superior to other governments.
So, why don’t we just stick with the topic:
a. Was Joe a slimebag? Yes, we all agree.
b. Was McCarthyism wrong? Yes, apparently all agree except you and JAS.
c. Is the US system of government better than others? Irrelevant, OT, start another thread.
