Karma file..... ACU Board condemn's Frank Gaffney's "reprehensible" and unfounded attacks"

[yellowcanine]

Gaffney’s attacks on conservative stalwarts like Grover Norquist, head of Americans for Tax Reform, and Suhail Khan, a Bush administration offical, as agents of the Muslim Brotherhood has made him a bit of a pariah among conservatives. David Keene, the then-chairman of the American Conservative Union (ACU), which puts on CPAC, and the current head of the NRA, told ThinkProgress last year that Gaffney “has become personally and tiresomely obsessed with his weird belief that anyone who doesn’t agree with him…[must be] dupes of the nation’s enemies.”

Hmm. Kind of sounds like the way conservatives used to red bait and accuse everyone who disagreed with them of being commies or commie dupes......

1. "conservatives used to red bait"?

If you think the 'used to' do this, you haven't been to freeperville or watched the GOP primaries. It's worse than it ever was. Even 'moderate' Republicans like Romney have to call Obama a commie or risk alienating the base.

3. Well politicians mask it now as "socialist baiting"; I don't really keep up with freeperville.

2. Gaffney wants war with everyone--as long as he doesn't have to go
