Hound, we were talking about McCarthyism and you replied, and I quote, "I've already lived through "a communist under every rock" years." The clear implication was that you lived during the McCarthy years and experienced the red scare.

Now if you are saying it was during the Vietnam years I also grew up during that timeframe and my brother served in Vietnam. I have no recollection of there being paranoia about a communist under every rock in the U.S. That is just silly. What JFK and LBJ were concerned about was the spread of communism in Asia. Were they right? Gee, I would ask the millions who died in the killing fields after we bailed out but they aren't exactly around to tell us about the joys of communism that spread into Vietnam. But hey, they supported the wrong guy so they got what they deserved, right?
