    Can you even describe what it was? Who and how many were affected by Senator McCarthy?

    Of course, but I will not engage is such a discussion with one who will not engage seriously.

    Oh, I am being very serious. But I accept that you are unable to validate anything you claim, so simply resort to name calling and pointing fingers without any kind of actual facts at all other than your own say-so.

    That what I said went over your head made me realize I wasn't talking to a serious person. Just typing this is painful enough.

    You have described your behavior, Mushroom. "McCarthyism" has always been a right wing illness in America.

    what are you talking about, Trump issued the statement on the Russian meeting in Trump tower and it was a lie, it was not about adoption as we have seen from his son's emails

    100% agree, Russia is playing both sides

    left\right
    blacks\whites
    rich\poor
    gun\anti-gun
    choice\anti-choice
    theist\theist\atheist
    women\men

    and now even Trump\anti-Trump

    anywhere Russians can cause a divide they will be there taking the most extreme of both sides

    Russia is only "playing" idiots on Facebook and twitter.

    The attack ads from both sides at this current moment are far more dangerous than some Russian cartoon ad.

    Considering his positions on free speech, gun rights, militias and taxes, yes. Relative to todays left, he was a total 'Hitler'

    I keep pointing him to bits of history, hoping he might even bother to learn some of it. But he is so deeply entrenched into his own mindset that he dares not to let any information actually enter into his thinking.

    And yes, obviously JFK would be "far right wing". After all, those of us who actually know history know that JFK (and the rest of the Kennedy clan - including Joseph) and Senator McCarthy were close and lifelong friends. They frequently vacationed together, and Joe had even dated not only Pat but Eunice Kennedy. He was also Godfather to Robert Kennedy's daughter.

    And Senator Joe had 2 very devout Junior Senators working closely alongside him during his hearings. Both of them stalwart anti-Communists and fanatical in their support of him, and this crusade.

    Richard Nixon, and John Kennedy. The three were known to publicly support each other for years in political manners, even going against party lines to support each other instead of their opponents.

    And to this day, I wonder how much of what Senator Joe knew that was highly classified at the time and he should not have had access to. Especially Venona, which has proven that indeed not only were many of those called out actual agents, but even Soviet archives since then have proven them to be true.

    Whenever somebody confuses McCarthy and the HUAC, I know I am talking with somebody that does not really understand what was going on. They are only believing propaganda, and not even trying to engage their brains to realize they were 2 very different things. And ignoring that by far the worst "Red Baiting" hearings were conducted by the Democrats. That is just ignorance. At least the Senator only went after Government employees, not non-governmental citizens.

    Relative "Today's Left", even FDR is a Hitler.

    Those memes were by Russians making money from spamming advertising adds. No evidence the 13 trolls were connected to the government. Half of the memes were posted after the election and in Red States.



    The entire Russiagate drama is establishment war propaganda. Designed to whitewash the Democrats failure as a party and to justify the US-NATO military buildup at Russia's doorstep.

    The tactics are being used by the left today.

    BTW, there were a whole lot of Russian agents in our government in that time, see the Verona Papers. If only the left cared about Russian involvement in our government when it really mattered. A couple of them were even executed for treason.

    The tactics, in fact, are being used by the right wing with the help of Russian involvement in overthrowing our government.

    Coming from somebody who can not even realize that the vast majority of "McCarthyism" was conducted by the Democrats in a completely different branch of Congress, I consider this a joke statement.

    Still waiting for an explanation on how President Truman and the McCormak-Dickstein (both D) Committee along with the others (Dies Committee, Hart Committee and others - all Democrats in the House of Representatives) are part of some Right-Wing Republican activity.

    Coming from a person who clearly does not understand what McCarthyism was and how it played out results in me not being interested in his mistaken interpretations.

    Also the failed ploy does not change the fact that the Russians interfered in the US elections.

    End of story.

    "Interpretations"?

    Then tell me, in what facts have I given am I wrong in any way?

    You see, that is the difference. I give clear facts, that can be verified by anybody. All you give is mean remarks and then pout when you do not like what the facts are.

    So go ahead then, tell us how I am wrong about the HUAC. I am inviting you to tell us how things really are.

    You gave your "facts", Musroom, and I will leave it at that. Your misunderstanding of HUAC and the players is obvious.

    Dear Vladimir Putin,

    Please do America a great favor and hack into the DNC again and give all their emails and text messages to Wikileaks. Also, please give us a Russian dirty disinformation dossier full of lies on all the Democrat presidential candidates so that our IC can launch counterintelligence investigations into all the Democrat candidates.

    Thank you,

    THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

    P.S. Please release Crooked Hillary's 33,000 deleted emails .

    Then explain how I am wrong. Do not just go "that is not right", without giving an actual reason for saying so.

    Nope, Mushroon, we are not going into a repetitive dance over and over and over on the HUAC.

    Anyone can study it and realize that you are not accurate.
