Very astute observation. Thanks M The word McCarthyism is tossed at people for simply disagreeing with the anti-war protestors. PS This has happened to me.

My comment wasn't a flame, it was an attempt to name what I consider a serious and troubling social phenomena. The use of free speech to protect people from the consequences of their speech. No responsibility, no freedom. However, accountability is something meant to flow left-to-right not the other way, when it flows the other way it is called bullying, flaming, McCarthyism, Orwellian. You started off fine until you did the pp inevitable and cradled yourself into your bias. Your intellect is a prisoner of your biases. Most unfortunate. BTW....nice try. I don't believe you weren't joining the jackal this morning and mustering a gang rape of JohnM. You respond well to the call to arms. For a man of your intellect, a weakness unfortunately.
