Is there a return of McCarthyism?

I received an email from blogger Chicago Native of a YouTube video that I posted yesterday called The Return of McCarthyism in which the video had different segments of comparison of statements from Glenn Beck and Joseph McCarthy. And the end of the video was the commentary by Edward R. Murrow. Unfortunately, it was brought to my attention that the video was removed by You Tube. That's a shame. The video really showed a true reality to where McCarthyism is becoming the rise in the year of 2009. I am posting three You Tube videos that showed how much McCarthyism is coming to surface in this country.

First video is Beck's witch hunt:







Second video is Joseph McCarthy on Democrats.McCarthy distinguishes between the "Commiecrat" politicians in Washington, and the average Democrat voter:





Third video is Edward R. Murrows' commentary on Joseph McCarthy from the movie "Good Night and Good Luck":

Thanks for finding these. I wonder what happened to the version you had yesterday, maybe some paranoid group had something to do with it's removal from Youtube, or someone with a lot of money!

Yes, fear mongering is what it is.

And Beck as a guest on the Falafel King...like the backwards "R" in Comrade update! lol Actually that is a "ya" sound in Russian and called the letter "Ya", funny none-the-less.

Some things hold true today, now the talk of communism.......this is like going back to the cold war days, leave it to Fox Nutwork to spread the love cough, cough

I don't know why that video that posted was removed. The video nailed the rise of McCarthyism. If it ever pops up on YouTube again, I will post it.


If only more journalists and reporter has more spine and guts like Edward R. Murrow because he was not afraid of McCarthy nor he wanted to be silenced for the freedom of press and speech.
