If you don't like somepne. just call him/her terrorist or Al Queada.
Never see him/her again.

Just like in the 50s with McCarthy; just call some a "communist" and
their career was toast.


Ironically, it turned out that all those (and some more) were actual
communists.


Absolutely not true. you are entitled to your opinions, but that does
not extend to fabricating history.


McCarthy waved around a list of alleged Communists that he never allowed
anyone to see (first clue that it was BS). Then there's the issue of Ess Oh
Fu&ing what if they WERE Communists? America's Bill of Rights guarantees
:"free speech" so unless they were spying for Russia or committing some
other criminal act they were entitled to espouse any political belief they
cared to. The country was as hysterical about "Commies" back then as they
are about Muslims now. The mere whisper of an allegation was enough for
someone to lose their job.

FWIW, there's been an alarming increase in sock-puppetry here. Lately, a
number of AHR members have sought to increase their exposure by cloning
themselves. Some are better than others, but it's a dangerous game because
eventually sock puppets screw up and make their true identities known. I
have a list of all the sock puppets here, but I can't let you see it until
my investigation is complete . . . (-:
