Good Lord... GA Town Hall WWII vet misses Joeseph McCarthy!

Watching Reps John Linder and Tom Price hold a town hall on CNN.com Live.

Generally the attendees are saying pretty outrageous anti-Obama things, but this WWII vet gets up and says, "When I got back from WWII Senator McCarthy was doing a job of getting rid of Communists in the government. Now I see more Communists, Marxists, and Socialists than ever... And, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my Social Security and retirement.:

Sheez.

1. He does realize Nazis loathed the same groups, right?

If he wants a political group who rid their country of Communists, look no further than what he fought against. Sad.

4. Heh... I was waiting for Linder or Price to point out the irony, but alas...

Instead, they commended him on his "level-headed assessment" of what's going on in Washington, and then they invited everyone to the Tea Party march on Washington.

2. I want to ask him if he misses Joltin Joe's secret sailorboy romance.

'Cause there is nothing funnier than a self-hating gay ultra-conservative like Joe.
