Digital McCarthyites Unite

A Call to Arms has been issued to the challenge posed Mary Mapes. Rusty Shackleford has coined the term, we have proposed the organization, are you strong enough to join the cause?

Visit Rusty for more details. I will post later on this with more meat on it.

UPDATE : LOGO CREATED!!!

Tell me what you think.

“Conservative bloggers are part of the story. They have vilified me, mounted a “wilding” attack against me…we were, it seemed the first victims of a new kind of digital McCarthyism, which uses the same techniques as the old McCarthyism–rumors, slurs, false charges and ugly attacks–but now employs the Internet, talk radio and cable TV echo chamber to ricochet information around the world

   Have you no shame, sir? If not, then sign me up. Hey! Can I be J. Edgar Hoover?

   Anchoress,

   That’s funny I was thinking the same thing with the head set. But we don’t want Mc Carthy getting confused with Susie the Time Life Operator.
