ONLY A DEMOCRAT CAN CALL THE COMMUNIST PURGE OF THE US FROM SEN JOSEPH MCCARTHY AS A DEMAGOGUE–AS TODAY WE HAVE A LEFTIST IN POWER AND A SOCIALIST RUNNING FOR POTUS FROM THE SAME DEMOCRATS WHO HOLD THEM IN SUCH HIGH ESTEEM AS CHANCELLOR ROBERT REICH MUST OPINE

……My list of American demagogues would include Sen. “Pitchfork” Benjamin Tillman of South Carolina, who supported lynch mobs in the 1890s; Father Charles Coughlin, whose anti-Semitic radio rants in the 1930s praised Nazi Germany; Sen. Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin, who conducted the communist witch hunts of the 1950s; and Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace, the staunch defender of segregation.
These men inspired the worst in their followers. They scapegoated the weak and set Americans against each other. They used fear to stoke hate and thereby entrench their power.
Back to the current crop of presidential candidates: Who are the leaders, and who are the demagogues?
The leaders have sought to build bridges with those holding different views.
Rand Paul spoke at the University of California, Berkeley, for example, seeking common ground with the university’s mostly progressive students.
Bernie Sanders traveled to Liberty University, where most students and faculty disagree with his positions on gay marriage and abortion. “I came here today,” he said, “because I believe from the bottom of my heart that it is vitally important for those of us who hold different views to be able to engage in a civil discourse.”
Other candidates, by contrast, have fueled division. Ben Carson has said being gay is a choice. “A lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight, and when they come out they’re gay,” he said, “so did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question.”…..
