At a campaign town hall event on Tuesday, the Palm Beach Post reports, West declared that he’s “heard” that up to 80 House Democrats are members of the Communist Party. However, he would not name any specific people.

I've "heard" that 100% of politicians are lying @#$%&.

He also claims Obama is afraid to debate him. Because the president is famous for debating batshit crazy House members.

The 1950's called. Tailgunner Joe's been dead since 1957. They need someone to carry the UnAmerican Activities investigations.

FWIW, I noted this summary, and felt that it relates rather strongly to 21st Century American politics Ed Murrow... you are still missed.

"In his conclusion, Murrow said of McCarthy:

His primary achievement has been in confusing the public mind, as between the internal and the external threats of Communism. We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men ... We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. The actions of the junior Senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad, and given considerable comfort to our enemies. And whose fault is that? Not really his. He didn't create this situation of fear; he merely exploited it—and rather successfully"

Another fine product of the Sunshine State.

jd... did you read the ny times article ? Comes across as a very classy leader who ditched his career in an attempt to protect his men.

Sounds like an intelligent man who has been co-opted by the TEA party craziness. Sad.

So we just survived Rick Santorum and the Catholic Bishops try and limit contraception for women and now we're talking about Communists in Congress?

Whew...it sound like the 1950s all over again. Maybe Republicans will try and force African Americans to sit at the back of the bus.

I think Fox News has to try and resurrect the craze over dances like "The Twist" or hula hoops.

During that era:

"under God" was added to the pledge

National Prayer Day was enacted

So why not create another scare to further religious causes.
