MORE than 50 years after they were executed as Soviet spies, the case of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg continues to generate intense emotion on both sides of the political spectrum.
(Well, not on Knuckles' side. He's pretty cool with the method of their disposal. Zzzzzt! Zzzzzz!)
Anyway, this isn't any kind of deconstruction of an excellent article. It's about this 'graph:
Ivy Meeropol uses images of classic liberal villains from the '50s — Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon and J. Edgar Hoover — to reinforce what she sees as the nefarious nature of those who opposed her grandparents.
The Left has an uncanny ability to vilify its enemies by name rather than the ideas they oppose. It's amazing anyone goes up against these sleaze artists especially when they're holding the majority of media outlets by the pee-pee. Because the individuals who do are fairly bright lawyers who could lead prosperous lives without being constantly harrassed. Prosecuting traitors requires a hard, smart motherfucker who'll never back down. That's why the Free World was so goddamn fortunate to have Nixon and Hoover to chase these traitorous fucks down and supervise their final exit. (McCarthy didn't prosecute spies...his name is included by Meeropol for its cheap emotional impact.)
One solution: Appoint Rudy G. as chief of the Prosecute-And-Summarily-Execute-The-Traitors-Who-Aid-And-Abet-The-Enemy Commission.
Extra credit question: when was the last time you ever heard a conservative compare a political opponent to the undeniably traitorous Rosenbergs, Alger Hiss or the Brit closet queens, Blunt, Philby, and the rest of the nephew-touching Cantabs?
Thought so.

Oh, man, don't get me started on the leftist vilification of Hoover. No one knows for sure about Hoover's sexual orientation, but they always titter "He was gay!"
Waaaaaait a minute! I thought being gay was an honorable thing, above reproach, and certainly does not disqualify one from holding high office? Well, except for Hoover, of course.
Even though the man who made up the story of Hoover in drag admitted it was a deliberate falsehood, it's now an established fact in the minds of the proles.
Bastards! I will destroy them all!
You got that right, Stoney.
One of the most reliably liberal Republican-haters, Stephen King, stoops to using sodomy as The-Most-Horrific-Act-That-Can-Happen-to-Our-Boy-Hero. You know why? Because it is. Otherwise he wouldn't use it. But then King will use homophobic characters as straw-men he can knock down. (And after being knocked down: castrated, beheaded, burned, eaten, shat out and then buried to return in a sequel.)
