Is Alan Grayson this generation's Joseph N. Welch? ("Have you no sense of decency?")

Famous for uttering "At long last, have you no sense of decency?" during McCarthy hearings in 1954.

That moment was considered the turning point that led to the downfall of Senator McCarthy and the end of the witch hunts.



Maybe it is a stretch... but I'd like to think Grayson's rant on the floor of the house could be the turning point against similar McCarthy-esque Republicanism in our time.

However I have to admit that the poster above is right: we only can tell in retrospect. Still, we can hope and we can support him.
