Have You No Sense of Decency, Sir?

One person I know that jumps at every opportunity to confront the Neo-McCarthyites face to face is talk show host and comedian Bill Maher. He could care less about ruffling their feathers or insulting their lack of dignity to their face. He frequently does confront them on his HBO show every week. MSNBC's news show hosts Rachel Maddow, The Ed Show, Lawrence O'Donnell and Chris Matthews have also shown no fear in castigating them regularly on air when they lie and distort. Keith Olberman is another such person that regularly berates them and exposes their hypocrisy and lies. Elizabeth Warren will definitely get in their face and be a constant thorn in their sides when she is elected as senator from Massachussets. Independent socialist Bernie Sanders constantly challenges them on the house floor. The right wing clown posse needs to be continuously challenged and berated at every chance to expose them as the insane creeps they really are.

The GOP/TeaParty are definitely Neo-McCarthyites and Like McCarthy, as far as they are concerned, anyone that doesn't agree with them or challenges them is a socialist, communist, baby killer, homosexual, women's libber, anti american, anti religion, anti marriage, un patriotic traitor and not worthy of respect or participation in our democracy. Facts do not have any relevance in the Neo McCarthyite world and truth is something they make up as they go along. Not all republican politicians are beyond hope and not all tow the party line (rare) but the ones that do adhere to their radical and irrational ideology need to be publicly shamed and humiliated every time they come up with some new afront to common sense and decency. And they have the audacity to call themselves the Moral majority ? Since when is lying and distorting the truth a moral virtue ? The Party of Family values ? How many families have been ruined and torn apart due to policies enacted by the party of hate ?

To all of the Repubs and Tea Party members here on the vine that will groan and moan and point out that all of the people I mentioned above are extreme liberals, so what. Since none of you have the balls or sense to take to task members of your party that have stepped out beyond the lines of commonly accepted social mores of respect, decency, and truthfulness, someone has to do it and if it's a liberal so be it ! Get used to it, because most of we Liberals and Independents have had enough of this BS ! The GOP/teaParty has invited this backlash and now they will have to deal with it on a daily basis. Have fun defending your party of disconnected from reality leadership and their very out of touch ideology.

There is absolutely no way to defend the GOP and tea party today. Yea, I hear from some that they aren't all bigots but it only takes about a minute to prove they are.

What a wonderful comment which tells it like it is. And the backlash will come, as night follows day, and as people slowly wake up to the dangers around them.

We in Britain are wondering what on earth is going on in America and cannot make any sense of it, especially the country we used to emulate. We hope it comes to its senses soon and lead the world again, because it has some truly amazing people.

They are basically unreadable at this point...seems like the more flippant the remark the more "we" (the sane people) look at them and shake our heads. From voter suppression to States trying to overturn the law of the land "Roe vs Wade". Our only hope is to vote their sanctimonious asses out before we lose it all...

In a few short months we've gone from talking about black children working as janitors to state-sponsored medicalized rape

Wow so true.....

Our only hope is to vote their sanctimonious asses out before we lose it all...

Amen to that! It's the people who have the power, though sometimes they don't realise that.

These guys are beginning to act like the religious leaders in a lot of the extremist Muslim sects that hijacked a beautiful religion and started an awful war that is still claiming casualties. They want all the control, especially over the women. They will tell us what we can read, listen to, and how to live. Not me!

McCarthy was essentially a creation of the John Birch Society, and one of the Society's founding members was Fred Koch, parent of David and Charles.

You aren't kidding that there are people around who think McCarthy was a hero. And unfortunately they're extremely rich and have an incredible amount of influence.

Scary.

Yeah, and most people don't know 'Fred Koch' made most of his money in Communist Russia. And got kicked out of Russia, for being too Totalitarian, even for the Communist Russians! Please don't believe me-LOOK IT UP yourself.

Fast forward to 2012. Charles and David are just as Fascist minded as their DAD was. Right Wing Extremist, with pure disdain for 'little people'.

Guess what Teabaggers, that includes you too...If you are not filthy rich,blue blooded,and ELITIST, the Kochs and their A L E C apparatus, are not for you...

How LA Times reported what Gingrich said:

Gingrich blames "the core policies of protecting unionization and bureaucratization" for "crippling" children.

"It is tragic what we do in the poorest neighborhoods, entrapping children in, first of all, in child laws, which are truly stupid," he said.

"I tried for years to have a very simple model," he continued. "Most of these schools ought to get rid of the unionized janitors, have one master janitor and pay local students to take care of the school. The kids would actually do work, they would have cash, they'd have pride in the schools, they'd begin the process of rising."

Poorest neighborhoods were mentioned above. In large cities in America, children populating the poorest neighborhoods are overwhelmingly black and latino. Gingrich later cleaned up his remarks but those of us who heard what he said initially, know that he was not talking about white kids. Plus, he was also talking about union busting.

The staff is simply resolved to right olde imagined wrongs. They are not bringing society together

Are you sure you are speaking about the right party here? It's not the Democrats that's waging a war on women and trying to divide society with their bigotry and desire to invade people's private life!!
