#1 Reminds me of dueling wizards attempting to cast spells on each other.

#2 Tailgunner Joe was accused of many things, but supplying guns to kill Americans was not one of them.

#6 Yeah, what they said. McCarthy may have been a big jerk but he was also right about the commies. I'm not sure Holder wants to press this comparison too hard - not that the MSM will notice.

#7 Well... there were Soviet spies, it's just that McCarthy was utterly incompetent at identifying them. Most of the heavy lifting had been done by Nixon & HUAC on one side and Truman & the Feds on the other side. *SENATOR* McCarthy was a johnny-come-lately show-pony who apparently was mostly talking through his hat.

#8 there were Soviet spies, it's just that McCarthy was utterly incompetent at identifying them. Yup, that's what I learned from all the disclosures after 1990. The rapid passage of Manhattan Project info from the USA to the USSR was the "red flag" for anyone paying attention. Reading between the lines,many of those Soviet spies probably retired & expired on federal pensions over the years.

#10 Tailgunner Joe - the Forgotten Kennedy???

#11 Joe Kennedy, Jr. was a pilot, not a tailgunner. He volunteered for a dangerous mission, and was killed when his plane exploded. He died a hero. He had flown 25 combat missions and was eligible to be rotated home.

#12 I'm on-board with that, RinVA.
However, back to our Beloved AT Holder...Which
"Tail-gunner Joe" do You think that racist black anarchist was alluding to? Just curious...
