#1 Simpson's full quote, during the Anita Hill hearings, and as spoken to the Presidnet Pro Tempore of the Senate: "Well, Mr. President, it seems to me that accusing someone of McCarthyism is really a McCarthyist tactic itself."

#2 Anyone ask Kucinich about the Department of Peace he proposed last month? Like, far out, man!
Which one was he Cheech or Chong?

#3 "Just last Sunday on national television, Secretary of Treasury (John) Snow said we have a soggy economy. Soggy. Soggy," McAuliffe said, drawing laughs from the party faithful with the incredulous tone of his delivery.

Yeah, and it's limp and hard to manage, too!

#4 National Democratic chairman Terry McAuliffe accused President Bush on Saturday of unleashing a "new McCarthyism" by vilifying people who oppose his policies.

This, from a member of a party whose specialty is vilifying its opponents.

#5 Funny when the dems use the term McCarthyism. After all, they not only developed it and enhanced the concept of publicly exposing someone's radical political views during the 30s and 40 starting with the Dies committee, to when McCarthy began his campagn; when the dems finally gave it a name.

I hope McAuliffe keeps it up, because he will be helping to redefine what 'McCarthyism' is, from somthing it never was, to something it always has been: Exposing elites' radical views to public disdain.
