"Commie" problem...more "information" from The New McCarthyism


 http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=commie

 
Google Urban Dictionary, lots of things to buy, insults for isms, and a "basic" definition: derogatory name for a Communist", related word "Pinko".  Word in a sentence:  "In the 1950's, McCarthy wanted to destroy those that he called "Commies", stated  by "Anonymous", 2003.  Hey, this is just like Wordsmith, only a little less so.  Why use quality references when less reliable (example polarized blog) sources are available? 

Current "witch hunt"  promoted by Glen Beck, John Savage and others. On this video John Savage had just been removed, thank you Fox News!   The New McCarthyism http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTFUSeLj0u8

Discredited by Glen Beck:  Van Jones - http://www.vanjones.net/, Carol Browner http://www.supereco.com/person/carol-browner/ ,
Cass Sunstein, Regulatory law legal scholar constitutional, administrative, environmental law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cass_Sunstein
Mark Lloyd, Associate General Council and Chief Diversity Officer, http://www.fcc.gov/ogc/lloyd.html,
Except for the radicalized  right-wing attacks on these qualified people, its hard to find googled information. 

Glen Beck and others are whipping-up hysteria, disregard for facts, failure to connect with reality, and disrespect for the law-of-the-land are scary.
