McCarthy was a Wuss
Krugman on the GOP's modern intimidation:
What the GOP wants is to make people afraid even to do research that produces conclusions they don’t like. And they don’t stop at trying to undermine the research — they go after the researchers personally. The goal is to create an environment in which analysts and academics are afraid to look into things like financial-industry malfeasance or climate change, for fear that some subcommittee will either dig up or invent dirt about their private lives.
McCarthy had nothing on these guys.
It's how bullies act on the playground only these bullies are corporate owned and overly tan.
