BigotedTed Cruz Claims He Has A List Of Communists Who Have Infiltrated Harvard Law By Zack Beauchamp, ThinkProgress 23 February 13 During the confirmation hearing for Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE), Sen. Ted Cruz engaged in guilt-by-association tactics that reminded several observers (including this author) of former Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-WI)'s baseless claim to have "a list" of Communists who had infiltrated the U.S. State Department. It turns out Cruz was even more like McCarthy than previously thought. He believes that "Marxists who believed in the Communists overthrowing the United States government" have infiltrated the Harvard Law School faculty, outgunning the embattled campus conservatives. Cruz's Communist comments came in a speech to the Koch-supported group Americans for Prosperity unearthed by The New Yorker's Jane Mayer. Mayer attended the speech, and wrote down the text of Cruz' McCarthyite allegations, which also linked President Obama to the so-called revolutionary Marxists at Harvard: readersupportednews.org/news-section2/318-66/16169-ted-cruz-claims-he-has-a-list-of-communists-who-have-infiltrated-harvard-law Hey Fredo: Give this IDIOT an invitation. He would feel right at home here. Too bad Wisconsin Joe has passed on and not available to post here. Like Wisconsin Joe, the Canuck Jack and Sarge, never publish the claimed list or source. Simple declarations should be all that is required from for the faithful at prayer meeting.

Wow, Jack I'm impressed. A real link. I'm not yet impressed with the publication, World Nut Daily, But they may actually have something for a change. I'll check it out more later.

Obama himself has said that he sought out the Marxist professors in Dreams From My Father. I guess the 'reader supported news' hasn't read either of Obama's autobiographies either. For the 'challenged' Duke, more precious -

Being 'challenged' and all, I can see how you're so easily impressed. But don't get used to the generosity because I intend to continue mocking you mercilessly until you either smarten up or just go away.

COINTELPRO years Main article: COINTELPRO In 1956 Hoover was becoming increasingly frustrated by Supreme Court decisions that limited the Justice Department's ability to prosecute people for their political opinions, most notably communists. At this time he formalized a covert "dirty tricks" program under the name COINTELPRO.[30] This program remained in place until it was revealed to the public in 1971, after the theft of many internal documents stolen from an office in Media, Pennsylvania, and was the cause of some of the harshest criticism of Hoover and the FBI. COINTELPRO was first used to disrupt the Communist Party, where Hoover went after targets that ranged from suspected everyday spies to larger celebrity figures such as Charlie Chaplin who were seen as spreading Communist Party propaganda,[31] and later organizations such as the Black Panther Party, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Southern Christian Leadership Conference and others. Its methods included infiltration, burglaries, illegal wiretaps, planting forged documents and spreading false rumors about key members of target organizations.[32] Some authors have charged that COINTELPRO methods also included inciting violence and arranging murders.[33] In 1975 the activities of COINTELPRO were investigated by the United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, called the Church Committee after its chairman, Senator Frank Church (D-Idaho), and these activities were declared illegal and contrary to the Constitution.[34] Hoover amassed significant power by collecting files containing large amounts of compromising and potentially embarrassing information on many powerful people, especially politicians. According to Laurence Silberman, appointed Deputy Attorney General in early 1974, FBI Director Clarence M. Kelley thought such files either did not exist or had been destroyed. After The Washington Post broke a story in January 1975, Kelley searched and found them in his outer office. The House Judiciary Committee then demanded that Silberman testify about them. <snip> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Edgar_Hoover Not the best source of info but the claims are footnoted.

Also taken were ammunition, a police radio, bullet-resistant vests, body armor and photography equipment, the FBI said. <snip> FBI Provided Inaccurate Data for Surveillance Warrants By John Solomon The Washington Post www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/26/AR2007032602073.html Tuesday 27 March 2007 www.truthout.org/docs_2006/032707N.shtml FBI agents repeatedly provided inaccurate information to win secret court approval of surveillance warrants in terrorism and espionage cases, prompting officials to tighten controls on the way the bureau uses that powerful anti-terrorism tool, according to Justice Department and FBI officials. The errors were pervasive enough that the chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, wrote the Justice Department in December 2005 to complain. She raised the possibility of requiring counterterrorism agents to swear in her courtroom that the information they were providing was accurate, a procedure that could have slowed such investigations drastically. <snip>

Do you dump posts with unrelated, irrelevant snippets (albeit with links) for some discernible purpose?
Or are you compelled to do so because you're 'challenged'?

From my post: "And this is the organization that that World Nut Daily and Jack want to cite a proof that McCarthy was 'right?'"
Liars, murders, intentional false information, given to the courts and the media. See color blue and bold and larger lettering.
And you are the one who claims others can't read?

Demands source material for common sense or life related issues… Then claims they are not reputable enough to count as source material… while using source material that is little more than opinion, fluff and left wing rhetoric posted in shotgun fashion across the net…
Awesome.

I'm done with using PC terms like 'challenged' any more.
What we have here is an example of a certified mental midget. And I should know, because I'm the one certifying it.
The original post tries to sully Cruz with the meme that McCarthy was on a 'baseless' witch hunt, when the facts show in retrospect, that he was Van Helsing.
For the low-information poster, I've had to explain using simple words, that the premise of the original post has self-detonated in his shorts.
Even now, he doesn't seem to realize that along with the mushroom cloud and that funny smell, he's lost any chance to kiss his ass good-bye.
