Sen. McCarthy in reverse?

In the 1950’s Sen. McCarthy began hearings attempting to uncover communist sympathizers in government and the motion picture industry. This produced outrage from certain factions in the country to the point that Sen. McCarthy eventually became disgraced. Today, we have the far left on a campaign to disgrace, ridicule, insult and denigrate those whose opinion differ from the radical left in this country. If you disagree with the policies of President Obama you will be the butt of jokes and insults because of your belief. Just look at what happen to “Joe the plumber” when he questioned candidate Obama on the “trickle down economics”. Then we had the insults that followed those who participated in the recent “Tea Party.” The far left, including politicians, Democratic spin doctors, so called Hollywood elite, and the radical left news media had a field day denigrating the participants. And the other day, at the Miss American Pageant, we had Miss California who answered a question on gay marriage according to her moral beliefs suffered outrageous verbal abuse on the Internet by the person who ask the question at the event, Perez Hilton. Of course, if Perez Hilton had brains he would be dangerous. But then again, he is typical of the verbal abuse that the far left will assault who disagree with their ideas. We are now heading down the road where free speech will not be accepted unless it is something on the far left. Just recently, former Congressman Tancredo from Arizona was verbally assaulted at North Carolina University when he attempted to give a speech. The students and faculty began a loud outburst both in the audience and some even went on stage to voice their displeasure against his conservative opinion. Freedom of speech will only be tolerated if the audience agrees with your speech. So much for the Bill of Rights. So much for our educational system. But, then again why are we not surprise.
