McCarthyism Is A Good Thing?

We posted a blog by thinkprogress yesterday which compares Ted Cruz to Joe McCarthy, which should be a scary comparison in most modern eras.

This is following Cruz’s allegations of possible ties Defense Secretary nominee Chuck Hagel has to radical anti-American groups, and the piece alleges Cruz claimed knowledge of communists at Harvard University.

Ted Cruz is not your normal American Taliban-er readers, no, this dipshit takes stupid to another level, which makes him the dipsy-doodle king of tea baggers for this week. As Michele Bachmann loses her batshit crazy luster within the ranks of teabillie land, there is never a loss for unlettered GOPers to take the helm! In this instance, its Ted Cruz, poster boy for "Brylcreem, A Little Dab'll Do Ya".


BRYLCREEM COMMECRCIAL





Last night Rachel Maddow deconstructed exactly what makes Cruz so much like Joe McCarthy, the man infamously known for his witch hunt against communists in the United States government.

BREITBARTBOTS AND FRIENDS OF HAMAS [BEN SHAPIRO IDIOT AT LARGE]




A friend of mine said to me: "The "conservative bubble" resides in the lower backside of Rush Limbaugh".

I would add to this friends comment; that in a cosmological sense, that's just the locus of one of those fecund over-heated birthing areas, just like when we look at rich accumulations of hydrogen gas in space. Big Fat's [Limbaugh] massive ass acts as the event horizon to a black hole for authoritarian misconceptions of reality, farooping them out daily at a highly energized, therefore over-heated, rate.

So what we get in Ted Cruz is someone who's really, really bright and smart on everything that is just wrong. It's like being a notable bible scholar but at the same time actually believing all those religionist myths and bull shit misconceptions.

TED CRUZ IS JOE MCCARTHY REINCARNATED

TED CRUZ IS JOE MCCARTHY REINCARNATED

During the confirmation hearing for Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE), Sen. Ted Cruz engaged in guilt-by-association tactics that reminded several observers of former Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-WI)’s baseless claim to have “a list” of Communists who had infiltrated the U.S. State Department.

It turns out Cruz was even more like McCarthy than previously thought. He believes that “Marxists who believed in the Communists overthrowing the United States government” have infiltrated the Harvard Law School faculty, outgunning the embattled campus conservatives.

Cruz’s Communist comments came in a speech to the Koch-supported group Americans for Prosperity unearthed by The New Yorker‘s Jane Mayer. Mayer attended the speech, and wrote down the text of Cruz’ McCarthyite allegations, which also linked President Obama to the so-called revolutionary Marxists at Harvard:

Cruz greeted the audience jovially, but soon launched an impassioned attack on President Obama, whom he described as “the most radical” President “ever to occupy the Oval Office.” (I was covering the conference and kept the notes.)

He then went on to assert that Obama, who attended Harvard Law School four years ahead of him, “would have made a perfect president of Harvard Law School.” The reason, said Cruz, was that, “There were fewer declared Republicans in the faculty when we were there than Communists! There was one Republican. But there were twelve who would say they were Marxists who believed in the Communists overthrowing the United States government.”

Like McCarthy, Cruz doesn’t name names, and that’s no surprise. As Mayer notes, “Under the Smith Act, it is a crime to actively engage in any organization pursuing the overthrow of the U.S. government.” So Cruz’s allegation could potentially mean he’s accusing a large chunk of the Harvard faculty of engaging in a federal felony.

It’s also extremely unlikely that there were any truly revolutionary Marxists at Harvard. The intellectual cohort Mayer guesses he was pointing to are advocates of Critical Legal Studies (CLS), an intellectual movement with strong roots at Harvard Law. CLS scholars argue that law and legal texts are indeterminate; in greatly simplified terms, that the law can be interpreted in basically whatever fashion judges choose. Taking after a long tradition of leftist thought (including Marx himself), CLS advocates argue that the fact of legal indeterminacy means law ends up reflecting the will and the interests of the powerful (principally rich, white men) rather than neutral adjucations of the principles that are supposed to underpin the law. A more comprehensive introduction, from Harvard Law Professor Roberto Unger, can be found here.

It’s true that this is an extremely left-wing analysis of the way that law works, but that doesn’t mean they actually wanted the Soviets to win the Cold War by overthrowing the US government, as Cruz said. Indeed, as Mayer notes, perhaps the most famous CLS exponent at Harvard, Duncan Kennedy, identifies as a “social democrat,” not a Communist and certainly not a revolutionary Soviet.

A majority of the Supreme Court’s conservative bloc attended Harvard Law School. No Marxists from Harvard have ascended to the Supreme Court.

"STUDY IT OUT"

WILL THE AMERICAN TALIBAN PLEASE STEP FORWARD



Oh great, more American Taliban™ rhetoric:

 "He was born here but he's not American", "he's not like us." "He's not a true Patriot like us."

In my fifty one years on terra firma, I can't recall anyone either teaching me or telling me to "study it out". This is your brain on tea bagger, this is your brain on Mormonism and please don't let it happen to you.

Embarrassing yes, and yet I am never too surprised by the ignorance of the unlettered republican.

What you see here is your classic "Southern Strategy" code for the "N" word. Southern racists cannot spew it out like they did in the 1960s, so they have to be more subtle about it. If this benightedness wasn't so sad I'd say this is one of the funniest things I have seen in a while. I'm almost feeling sorry for the poor robotic creature as she apparently hasn't "studied it out". To call this woman an idiot would be an insult to the idiots of our world.

A female tea bagger who can't explain what "communism" is, or what one has to do to "study out" - to get this false sensation of being right, or to come to this delusional conclusion of why all Americans are not Americans "like us". Reminds me a story I experienced - as I overheard a woman at a Catholic Church rummage sale recommending that her friend read "Atlas Shrugged", because it was so good at describing what's going on in America today. She couldn't wait to read "Atlas Shrugged II". I was dying to tell her it was written by an atheist who hated religion, but you can't fix stupid.

Backfill:

"Study It Out” -  In Mormonism means, decide in your mind - and make everything else fit with it. And if it isn't right, God will let you know...

Explained better here: http://webcache.googleusercont

..........Believe it - and if God doesn't disagree - it must be right. Nauseating, isn't it?
