Adam Magazine on the Crazy Years

Looting, killing and raping -- by twisting their words they call it "empire"; and wherever they have created a wilderness they call it "peace" -- Tacitus

Thursday, July 5

Here's another reason conservatives drive me nuts. In this article Victor Navasky talks about attempts to 1) rehabilitate Joe McCarthy, 2) justify all of the internal excesses of the Cold War, and 3) make everyone on the left out to be traitorous dupes of the Red Menace. I mean really, lets stop trying to justify the execution of the Rosenbergs or rehashing the Alger Hiss case.

That is, unless you let us put Kissinger on trial for war crimes.

And another question: am I the only person on the planet under 40 who knows who Alger Hiss was? Now wouldn't that be an exciting poll on CNN.com.
