Freepers celebrate McCarthy's birthday.

[Fuzz]

Happy Birthday Senator Joe McCarthy!

Today is the 100th Birthday of Senator Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin, a great American patriot who was vilified and condemned for his warnings of Communist infiltration of our government. Today, his warnings ring just as true.

We won't see any news articles commemorating this great man, so this is my humble contribution to honoring him.

Fucking idiots.

[RJ Connors]

1. Yeah but they are so deluded over there that they think

A Constitutional crises is in the making over Obama's birth certificate

Constitutional crisis looming over Obama's birth location

But then again, they get their news from World Nut Daily.

[Fuzz]

2. And Hannity.

My god they are fucking idiots.

[CatholicEdHead]

'Obmumnism'?

:crazy:

[Jack Rabbit]

12. I'll bet you can't say that ten time real fast.

[RJ Connors]

13. Apparently it has become quite fashionable and all the rage

To have your own quasi political/religious/ideological/societal threat to live in fear of and insist that if others are real patriotic Americans and know what is good for them, to also live in fear of.

I could not begin to imagine what our country would like, if the people had not rallied at this election, after another four years of Neo-Conservative Republicanism.

[silverojo]

3. These people are so insane...

(How insane ARE they?)

Thank you.

They're so insane, that they'd celebrate Adolf Hitler's birthday, except that they think he's a leftist.

Hmm...hated Jews, gays, interracial marriage, intellectuals...yeah, what a liberal he was! :sarcasm:

They just don't get WHY nobody's celebrating McCarthy's birthday. Maybe because he was a raving lunatic!!

4. I hope no one lights a candle near the grave...

I'm sure the alcohol is still escaping from his rotting corpse, and the blast would be huge...:evilgrin:

5. You said it n/t

[Sarah Ibarruri]

6. This is what these assholes believe! It's not our imagination. They are little nazis.

No exaggeration.

[Raschel]

9. Yes, and they blame Obama for the economy and the bailouts. Koo koo. n/t

[Sarah Ibarruri]

16. Oh? Obama is a psychic that's been casting spells on the Republicans?

Aah so that's why the Republicans nearly destroyed this country and bankrupted it!

Man, Repukes are a sick-ass bunch aren't they?

[GrizzlyMan]

7. McCarthy was a drunk and a liar about his wartime experienes

And he's being celebrated at Free Repuke. Yeah, that sounds about right.

[elshiva]

8. Check out post 12 OH NOES LIBRUL MEDIAS!

"...the reason the Washington Post attacked him so was that the paper?s owners were Stalinist admirers....and they?re still communist sympathizers, only now they call it ?progressive?"

[tom_paine]

21. Love your avatar. "IT'S SHOMER SHABBAS!!!!!"

:rofl:

What can one say about the Freikorps?

[MonteLukast]

10. Hmmm... do they forget that McCarthy palled around with Nazis?

The always brilliant Steve Gilliard:

But somehow {Ann Coulter} neglects to mention McCarthy's first moment in the national spotlight. That was his infamous 1949 campaign on behalf of Nazi S.S. officers who were convicted of war crimes for the massacre of American troops in the town of Malmedy during the Battle of the Bulge. On their orders, 83 American prisoners of war had been murdered by Waffen S.S. machine-gunners. The S.S. officers were sentenced to death, but McCarthy insisted that the entire case was a frame-up, with confessions obtained by horrific torture. He intervened in Senate hearings on the case and lied repeatedly during his defense of the Nazi murderers. His most spectacular claim was that the American investigators had crushed the testicles of German prisoners as an interrogation technique.
McCarthy was later shown to have served as the pawn of neo-Nazi and communist provocateurs who were using the Malmedy case to whip up anti-American sentiment in postwar Germany. The main source for his false charges concerning Malmedy was a Germany lawyer named Rudolf Aschenauer, whose closest ties were to the postwar Nazi underground and to American right-wing isolationists, but who has also been identified as a communist agent. {?!?!?}
Aschenauer testified at U.S. Senate hearings in Germany that he had passed information about Malmedy to McCarthy. The S.S. officers were guilty, as the Senate report confirmed -- although most of them later got their death sentences commuted in a gesture to former Nazi officials who aided the West in the Cold War. But McCarthy had succeeded in his larger purpose, winning publicity for himself and casting a negative light on the war-crimes trials.

By Coulter's loose definition, his involvement in the Malmedy incident proves that McCarthy was a "traitor." He lied publicly to advance totalitarian forces in Europe against American interests. He sided with enemy forces against American soldiers. He falsely accused American officials of crimes. Moreover, he took up this tainted cause at least in part because of heavy financial support from an ultra-right-wing German-American businessman in Wisconsin. He managed to help both Nazis and communists at once, a feat rarely seen since the end of the Hitler-Stalin pact.

11. Didn't take long to become homophobic, did it?

Post 19: "They really are pinko commie fags now, aren't they? Search on "The Frankfurt School" for a major piece of their plan."

FUCK OFF!

[JanMichael]

14. In Joe's defense there were a lot of commies in the USA.

Hell you're reading a post by one now!

We're everywhere....

23. YOUR EVIL SOCIALIST MARXIST PLAN WILL NOT SUCCEED!!!

No...seriously, dude. It won't. I told you this day would come. Good luck getting that Collectivization Bill through Congress. I'll be registering my strong opposition with 50 calls/day, or as many as I have the time for.

:rofl:

We did it buddy. We fucking did it. From Conservative Dems to FDR Dems (like me) to no-good pinkos (like you :sarcasm: ) we all came together as the Founders intended against a greater threat to Liberty. I wasn't sure we would or could, and of course the work has just begun and we will have to be as vigilant as that first generation of Americans in holding the Dems' feet to the fire on restoring the integrity of the Republic.

And we might fail. But we just threw the game into extra innings. And that makes all the difference.

(had to throw in a baseball metaphor - the Phillies won the Series, after all)

Say hi to your missus for me. I hope you and yours are all doing great during this happy month where all our long-term futures look brighter, even though the short-term looks like it might suck a little.

Good luck weathering the storm ahead.

Hugs to you and Thtwudbeme (no using full real names in public )

:grouphug:

[JanMichael]

24. Oh yesit will! We have plans, secret plans!!!!

Oh shit-are they still secret if I just said they exist????

BTW the Obama "Chill the fuck out - I got this" sig line is funny as shit. Let's hope it's true!

Oh and the missus and I are a-ok. Thanks!

[tom_paine]

25. Drilling out back in my cammies with my knives and guns. WOLVERINES!!!1!!11!! I'M SERIES1!!!!11!!1!

15. What an evil monster, who destroyed so many lives

[peekaloo]

18. Even though it's Joe's Day no circle jerk would be complete without a

mention of his right hand man Roy Cohn.

Oh the sweet irony "he's the original Joe the Plumber".

:hurts:

[tom_paine]

19. ROFLMAO! How 'bout a celebration thread for Gen Augusto Pinochet, another misunderstood Bushie!

:rofl:

How 'bout a celebratory thread for Attilla the Hun, Ivan the Terrible, and Tammerlane, who were also famous "liberal hunters"? How 'bout one for Snidley Whiplash tying a widowed orphan to the railroad tracks?

:rofl:

These Nutsies (copyright Three Stooges, 1940) simply just keep outdoing themselves.

Thank God we stopped the Bushies before they and their Nutsies "got all Hitler on us", or maybe just "got all Pincohet on us".

Now they are just comic.

Go, Nutsies, GO! Get Nutsier!

20. McCarthy was a tool of much darker forces

including Nixon, Hoover, and Roy Cohn, who also played a key role in the Rosenberg trial:


Senator McCarthy (left) chats with Cohn at the Army-McCarthy Hearings

"Cohn was most famous for his role in the 1951 espionage trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Cohn's direct examination of Ethel's brother David Greenglass produced the testimony (in which the brother later claimed he perjured himself) that was mostly responsible for the Rosenbergs' conviction and execution.

"Cohn too great pride in the Rosenberg case, and claimed to have played an even greater part than his public role: he said in his autobiography that his own influence had led to both Saypol and Judge Irving Kaufman (a family friend) being appointed to the case, and that Kaufman had imposed the death penalty on Cohn's personal advice.

"The Rosenberg trial brought the 24-year-old Cohn to the attention of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director J. Edgar Hoover, who recommended him to McCarthy. McCarthy hired Cohn as his chief counsel, choosing him over Robert Kennedy, reportedly in part to avoid accusations of an anti-Semitic motivation for the investigations.

"Cohn assisted McCarthy's work for the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, becoming known for his aggressive questioning of suspected Communists. Cohn tended to be disinclined to hold the hearings in open forums. This mixed well with McCarthy's preference for holding "executive sessions" and "off-the-record" sessions away from the Capitol in order to minimize public scrutiny and to question witnesses with relative impunity. Cohn was given free rein in pursuit of many investigations, with McCarthy joining in only for the more publicized sessions."
