Moyers has better historic video than I could find; Moyers is right on this issue. Rep. Allen West owes all Americans an apology for his rash and wrong remarks.
Bill Moyers Essay: The Ghost of McCarthyism
April 26, 2012
In this broadcast essay, Bill connects the disgraceful McCarthyism of the past to its modern resurgence in the comments of Rep. Allen West and others. Haven’t we learned this lesson already?

I wish the Republicans would make up their mind.
Either they want to take us back to the late 1940’s-1950’s or they want to take us back to the 1920’s or they want to take us back to the Dark Ages.
