There are moments in history when you get an example of the worst impulses we as a society posses. On Friday Rep. Michelle Bachmann appeared on Hardball and showed what is increasingly becoming the face of the Republican/conservative movement in this country.
Obviously this lady has no idea what the HUAC was, or if she does, she probably agreed with it. Sen. McCarthy would be proud. It is now the mainstream view of the Republican party that if you dissent from the party line you are un-American, un-patriotic, and possibly socialist.
That is the only card that is left in the deck. When the country turns against your ideology all you have left is naked tribalism.
