I am so sick of listening to people, and being judge, and having to sit and quietly accept one sided propaganda as fact. I am sick of knowing a better, faster, easier way. I am sick of weak arguements or inconclusive ones given as absolutes. All of this exploded today into me defending Joe McCarthy in a room full of flamming pinkos.I need a

flamming pinkos eh?

I think a room full of pink flamingos would be better.

Yes... on that note... isn't "pinko" a little outdated?

And what exactly was your defense of Joe McCarthy? That he actually did some good? That he was a true patriot? Or did you not limit yourself to the witch hunts during the Red Scare?

pink·o
n. Slang pl. pink·os
A person who holds moderately leftist political views; a pink. (source dictionary.com)

So no on that count.

In this class the teacher used McCarthism in the context of anti-gay behavior. My objection was McCarthy was himself gay baited and his assistant (Roy Cohn) was on of the most prominant homosexuals of the era. The characterization of McCarthy as anti-gay was inaccurate.

The man was often assocaited with actions he had nothing to do with, including events that occured before he was even elected. He was a flammboyant anti-communist and with our individual centered history he gets credit for some things he simply was uninvolved with.

I encourage everyone to formulate their opinion of those things he did do. But I think everyone deserves to be defend from being assigned guilt for things that they did not do. You can't call it slander if the man is dead, but that doesn't make it right.
