"If you Ask Allen West, Communism Is Alive and Well in Congress.

It's hard to tell what's more disturbing: That Rep. Allen West says that up to 80 House Democrats are secretly members of the Communist Party or the fact that he and others actually believe it.. Granted, this is the same Allen West who once wrote a letter telling DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, that she wasn't "a Lady."

According to The Palm Beach Post, West told around 100 of his cheering supporters on Tuesday that "he's heard" up to 80 U.S. House Democrats are Communist Party members, but wouldn't name names (for the record, there are currently 190 House Democrats). Well, 80 is slightly under the 205 communists McCarthy alleged were working in the state department in 1950... Wait, did we mention that West actually being considered as a good choice for Romney's running-mate? Just think about that for a while. "

Nice name drop.

MOST-HATED SENATOR WAS RIGHT / Scholars: Joseph McCarthy's charges 'now accepted as fact'

Also, "official" history would like to forget, conveniently, that America's beloved little brother, Bobby Kennedy, was appointed by Joseph McCarthy [who was influenced by Joeseph Kennedy to do so - Joe Kennedy, who thought McCarthy was doing "the Lord's work"] as assistant counsel to his congressional Investigations Subcommittee and for six months was instrumental in the prosecution of the names on "McCarthy's" list (until a fall-out with his co-counsel led to his resignation), helped McCarthy to get some of those names, and that, even after his resignation, Bobby Kennedy admired and looked up to McCarthy (as did JFK).
[even the Ultra-Anti-JFK-Conspiracy Asshole McAdams is forced to acknowledge this point]

Just thought I'd throw it out there.

Most people have no inkling of understanding of just how perverted the story they have been told about McCarthy is, given that he, like the Kennedys themselves, was the loser to the Establishment, and his truth was crushed by THEIR history books.
