I think tg=he GOP has got little left but the McCarthyism that was always the inevitable result of the culture wars. If you must insist on drawing lines about patriotism and supporting the troops and who loves America more, then sooner or later you're gonna end up calling anybody who doesn't support your political view "un-American", and it's not a big leap to go to anti-American.

After all, when they said John Kerry was french, that was what they meant. Now, four years later, they're saying it as well.

As Buckley and others have said, the GOP is the stupid party. It may be a while before they stop being stupid.
