Many people that McCarthy outed were Communists. So he was right just went overboard as humans tend to do.

So calling something McCarthyism does not mean it is not true.

Many socialists went underground and into education to spread the creed. Just talk to ANSWER folks or the prevalent CHE T shirts and posters, even in OBAMA supporters.
As I said in Europe they went in the Green political parties.

But it is not a truly a conspiracy but more that like-minded people tend to collect together. Those that prefer socialism and group think and forcing others to do what they think or totalitarian tactics like the Obama supporter to shut down Stanley Kurtz on the radio.
Saul Alinsky trained Obama about the methods to accrue and handle power. So the totalitarian tendencies are very strong in these groups.

Russia planted seeds of disinformation decades ago and they continue to grow. They will be fomented to cause chaos or mischief. Conservatives did not go into journalism or education so have less impact on youth to influence philosophy.

The commenter said that his child has cognitive dissonance is because he did not educate his child first to inoculate them from the disease of socialist totalitarianism.

Plus with the liberal left infected with BDS they will grab at anything to blame Bush. The truly amazing thing was that when these liberal lefties chose Obama and turned against the liberal favorite Clinton. We have a whole new population that got attacked and is waking up.

I wonder how many Hillary liberal supporters have decided they have been mugged by reality and will turn conservative.
