“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0

Listening to Donald Trump’s attempt bring back the Red Scares of America past, Michael Hiltzik hears a rhyme. Here’s a tiny bit from his article, in which he references Democrat Al Smith’s campaign for New York Governor in 1928:

On that occasion, Smith said: “The cry of socialism has been patented by the powerful interests that desire to put a damper on progressive legislation. Is that cry of socialism anything new? Not to a man of my experience. I have heard it raised by reactionary elements and the Republican party … for over a quarter-century.”

Misdirection Play, Red Scare Dept. 0

Via the Las Vegas Sun, Jackie Calmes argues that Donald Trump’s charges that the Democratic Party is somehow communist are a textbook, classic case of project. He points out that

At Rushmore, Trump closed with a demand that Congress pass his so-called SAVE America Act to restrict voting. “We do that and we’re not going to lose an election for 100 years,” he said, speaking of course about Republicans.

One-party rule through central government election finagling? Now that’s a communist.

I commend the entire piece to your attention.
