The RED MENACE is back.

[Rosemary2205]

4 times today I've heard Republicans calling someone, or something "the red menace".

First, there's this article at national review calling the NYT "the red manace" http://article.nationalreview.com/print/?q=NDVhYWQzMmQ3YWRlNzFkYjRmZmY4ZTQzZmUwZjJhZjI=

Then I hear Hannity radio calling Hillary "the red manace".

I get an email from a wingnut neighbor who tells Murtha is "the red menace"

And finally, some schmuck on another board says "anyone who votes Democrat is the red menace".

So - uh -- is this the Rove talking point of the day -- or what?

Can't we be pinkos this time? that's a much better color on me!

1. Since one of their big heroes was Joe McCarthy,

it figures they'd fall back on the antiquated canard, "Communist!" Even though real Communists have pretty much gone the way of the dodo.

8. That's not even a sarcastic statement. He literally is a right wing hero

2. I thought the Dems were blue n/t

3. They miss the Soviet Union SO much

I got called a Communist during the 2004 election campaign too.

I don't think they've known what to do since the Cold War ended. They need a substitute to hate and fear, and I guess we're it.

4. STP to GOP: if you really want to see the real Red Menace

TAKE A CLOSE LOOK IN THE FREAKIN' MIRROR!!

6. They are running out of options....and time...

like most of you....I am so not surprised by this latest bullshit....except what's interesting and different is they have lost the Goldwater Repugs and many independents and they are including those Americans in this latest attack....I don't see that going very well for them......

7. "Red Menace"....

I remember in the '60's with my long hair, listening to Hendrix, and getting high... (Voted for the legalization of marijuana in the 1970 election too)... Being called a Hippie-Pinko-Commie-Rat...

Ahhh the good ole days... :hippie:
