And the future is now!

“Bob Woodward: Trump is the new McCarthy.” *

For a group that call themselves “progressives,” the left sure seems to spend every waking hour replaying the 1950s, doesn’t it?  (When they’re not reliving the 1930s, of course.) But hey, just as every television journalist is invariably the next Edward R. Murrow for 15 minutes, I guess it’s only fair that everyone is Murrow’s (rather belated) bete noire for the same time period as well.

    “Wow, so is Woodward tacitly saying that Obama really is a Communist?”

    I’m sure the RACERs will tell us that performing extrapolation on anything a left-wing media hack says is just another way racists exhibit their chronic hatred of black people or something.
