Bachmann and McCarthyism revisted

By Jeremy Hinton | Sunday, October 19th, 2008 | Politics

In case you somehow missed it, here’s Rep Bachmann (R-MN) in her oscar-worthy performance as Sen Joe McCarthy:

We start with the now well-worn Anti-American by association card, then move to expanding the associations. Matthews decides to call her bluff, figuring she’ll back down and look like the shill she’s playing the role of. But no, Bachmann refuses to relent, and throws down a royal flush of straight on McCarthyism craziness. Are we really so doomed to repeat our worst history? What’s next, War Relocation Camps for Muslims? Or maybe a resurrection of the Sedition Act?
