Conservative Pundit Says Criticism of Palin Like 'McCarthyism'

A conservative pundit on Monday ripped liberals who have suggested that Sarah Palin is to blame for the shooting tragedy in Arizona."

During an appearance on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal," Bill Kristol of the conservative-leaning Weekly Standard magazine called the criticism of the former Alaska governor "a disgrace."

<snip>

"Kristol said those who are blaming Palin, such as Paul Krugman of The New York Times, are practicing "McCarthyism."


Don't let them frame the message.

5. How convenient
Edited on Mon Jan-10-11 02:02 PM by kwolf68
Liberals have always been commies and socialists....of recent we've become nazis and fascists. Now we are McCarthyites. That's a hell of a stretch. This has NOTHING to do with McCarthyism. How can Kristol Dick make this leap?
