The true danger of this revival is represented by the recent murder of Rep. Gabrielle Gifford (D) of Arizona. She was a target of the Right in the past for her stance on Health Care reform and on half-term Governor Palin's website there once were crosshairs of a gun scope aimed at her precinct. In a reaction to the slaying of the Congresswoman, the webmasters have taken it off. Other Democrats have been receiving death threats as well, taking the fear mongering of the Right from rhetoric to reality.
The reasons the Nation didn't rip itself apart during the McCarthy Era can be attributed to reason and Congressional intervention. In this Era however, the party responsible for it has a majority and the media, using every possible vehicle of delivery, is exacerbating the fear without check. How many more people need to die here or overseas before they realize how dangerous a game they are playing? How long before America realizes it and stops the madness? To you I can only say; we must stand together, right, left and center to defend our country and derail the Right's revival of McCartyism else pay with our very freedom.
