Here's a letter to the Editor that's on the mark...

Y'all recall that retired Gen McPeak (current baggage handler and aide de'gofer for Barry Obama) called Bubba Clinton a modern Senator McCarthy... a McCarthy fan fights back;

LETTER TO THE EDITOR, WASHINGTON TIMES -

Gen. McPeak owes the United States and the memory of Mr. McCarthy an apology.

Bill Clinton is no Joe McCarthy

Retired Air Force Gen. Merrill "Tony" McPeak's recent comparison between Sen. Joseph McCarthy and former President Bill Clinton is factually wrong and politically misleading ("Obama aide compares Clinton to McCarthy," Page A7, Saturday).

Mr. McCarthy was a Marine Corps officer who served his country faithfully and patriotically. As a senator, he staunchly defended the United States against communism. Records revealed after the end of the Cold War indicate he was correct. Mr. McCarthy was vehemently attacked by the left wing in this country, primarily by Democrats, who continue to attack him.

Mr. Clinton was a draft dodger who signed an executive order authorizing the sale of nuclear secrets to communist China. An impeached president, he risked America's national security for campaign contributions. He was embraced by the left wing, primarily Democrats. To compare the two is a travesty. Gen. McPeak owes the United States and the memory of Mr. McCarthy an apology.
