Reply #8: Doesn't all of this just scream McCarthyism?

[Democrat 4 Ever]

I feel like Alice in Wonderland and have fallen down the rabbit hole, walked through the looking glass and everything is backward. Up is down, down is up, either say what "they" want to hear or we will destroy you. America has regressed back to the 50s mentality that you either drink the Kool Aid or "the establishment or good and righteous people" will see you ruined in every way possible. Next step rat out your friends - "Name people you know that feel the same way you do." "Do you know of anyone who didn't vote for Bush?" Black listing has returned. We saw it during the campaign with Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins and the Dixie Chicks and Michael Moore, just to name a few. Free speech is becoming a distant memory in this country. Joe McCarthy must be smiling from his little place in hell.
