  • Wow … based on multiple local blog posts of late (here at the Peoria Chronicle, here and here at Peoria Pundits), the spirit of Joe McCarthy lives on in Central Illinois.  I think some local bloggers and their commenters have been watching too many re-runs of Red Dawn and Amerika.  It’s like the Red Scare all over again.

My point about how most liberals are more worried about McCarthyism than they are Communism stands.
