- iwr 16y agoTrue enough. Still, I fail to see the similarity between Lieberman and McCarthy in this context.
- pigbucket 16y agoAccusing NYT of bad citizenship (Lieberman) is similar to accusing people of unAmerican activities (McCarthy). Calling on companies to withdraw services from Wikileaks (Lieberman) is similar to calling on advertisers to withdraw support from Time magazine (McCarthy). Overwrought, fear-mongering rhetoric (Lieberman) is similar to overwrought, fear-mongering rhetoric (McCarthy).
