They border on witch hunt level themselves. The 'tea party' movement in and of itself has a solidifying foundation for a reason - it is not a movement that should simply be dismissed as a "very dangerous movement". There are people in every demographic, political party, organization, etc. that lean V8'ishly too far in their views, but I don't believe the main body of this movement is one of those. I will stay tuned to both sides - just as I did during the "witch hunt" of former president George W Bush.Mike Cachathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044759980394625366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256576573761778510.post-29754207018852954662010-03-02T18:21:15.715-05:002010-03-02T18:21:15.715-05:00Well said, Michael.

I don't know where it is to be found, maybe You Tube, but it is one of the most incandescent moments in American history, and it for all practical purposes ended the witch hunt. I had a friend whose father, an Army dentist, whose life was badly damaged by McCarthy.<br /><br />Who will be the Welch today to speak the truth about this new very dangerous movement in our national life?Richard L.
