"Are you now, or have you ever been..."
We all know the phrase. I assume we all would object to the query.

It is the hallmark of McCarthyism.

Outside of extremist, hate groups, I don't think membership in a political policy advocacy group is grounds for blanket condemnation.

And I mean that across the Democratic spectrum.

3. I'd be afraid to answer that question -
no matter the circumstances. Makes one take pause!
