Rep. Allen West Says Up To 81 House Members Are Communists

You're missing a few important points (and saying "well duh" which makes you sound like an idiot): one -- the FBI was already investigating communist espionage. McCarthy's efforts were counterproductive. And two, by putting on a dog and pony show, McCarthy ruined the lives of hundreds of innocent people.

But the FBI couldn't really do anything about it, because the only direct evidence was the decoded cables. The problem there was, by using the evidence, the Soviets would know we cracked the cables, and thus would change their encoding. This is why they encouraged McCarthy to investigate.
 
There isn't going to be any investigation into West's insane accusation, because it is patently insane.

McCarthy was a shameless publicity hound and self promoter who ruined hundreds of lives for no reason.

You still can't name one can you?

Well we disagree. I don't think his claim is insane, anymore than McCarthy's claim was insane.
 
Yep, I served in the Army for 20 years because I sided with the enemy :roll:

What ridiculous nonsense you spew and only shows how clueless you really are. It must suck to be you when you are filled with so much hate. Oh but you're just a fuzzy foreigner so it doesn't really matter.

Typical leftism. Make up stuff, then claim the other side "hates" something, and really don't address any of the points made. Congrats on another typically useless leftist post.

Typcial conservative, make up generalizations about the entire left without any proof to back it up.

You are about as Fair and Balanced as Saddam Hussein was.

The list is long, but you can start with Robert Oppenheimer -- the brilliant physicist and leader of the Manhattan Project.

This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Oppenheimer didn't go before McCarthy, and had nothing to do with McCarthy. He went before the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

Further, the FBI had evidence that he was working with the communist party.

So you denounce McCarthy for hindering efforts by the FBI to find spies, and then denounce McCarthy for a person who the FBI had incriminating evidence against, who McCarthy himself had nothing to do with.

The bottom line is, you are wrong, as I knew you would be.

Proof of claim....

Case closed.

Case closed.

Sorry not case closed, Grant is filled with hate Sparkles. It's called truth and you seem to hate that.

How's that lie of Fair and Balanced thing going for ya?

I apologize if at any time I inadvertently indicated your opinion of me mattered to me in any way shape or form. There's lint in my drier that has a higher value to me.

As for Grant, if he is filled with hate, that still doesn't change the fact that he's right. Truth works both ways. Now I don't know if him being filled with hate is true, but I do know that the last two posts of his were true, and what you said didn't change that.

Just because A is true, doesn't mean B is not True. Just because Obama personally is a decent guy, doesn't mean that his policies are not socialist and ruining the country.

So, what if Grant is filled with hate? He's still right. The left is still wrong. And your posts are still pointless. Any questions about that?

so in other words, you have no clue to what you are talking about. Thank you for your concession Con.

You have no clue what Socialism means, you have no clue what the left does or does not believe and you have no clue what I (as part of the left) believe.

You're dismissed.

HUAC and McCarthy were birds of a feather. McCarthy's commie paranoia fed direclty into HUAC's kangaroo court and vice versa.

From reading this thread it sounds like liberals like you are closer to McCarthy demanding names and such, than Alan West is.

But keep dancing, it is humorous....

Not it's a put up or shut up move. Fascists such as yourself should know this.

You can't reason with people like Grant and Sparkles.

It's just not possible.

They're still stuck in Cold War Era Red Scare mentality.

They have yet to know it's 2012.

Ok, let me just ask because I am curious about this...Since the 60's have we as a country in terms of policy, and trend, moved closer to the Constitution? or the Communist Manifesto?

LOL, so now I am a 'Fascist'.... Gheeze, take a break man. You are really losing it.

Hey you have the left as communists. Just adding hyperbole to your hyperbole.

Neither, we have moved into a Corporation's dream where the dirty slimy worker is looked bad upon, but the CEO who drives a company into the ground walks away with Millions and doesn't have to worry about accountability.

Citi shareholders have been putting up a bitch lately.

Now, you are just being silly....I tell dude, I'd like to have a real conversation with you, but invariably, with you, within a couple of postings back and forth, you just devolve into cliche talking point pablum....

Come back when you look to have honest discussion....
