Karen Finney Drowning

“ Where do MSNBC find these people? This is just TOO precious.  I just commented about the Democrat Party's long association with the Communist party, and look what pops up. HUGH HEWITT interviews Karen Finney, long time voice of the Democratic National Committee, now the host of a weekend show on MSNBC,   HH: Karen, welcome, good to have you on, thank you for coming. Now I caught some of your show this weekend. I want to play the intro to your segment about Ted Cruz.  FINNEY AUDIO: In case you haven’t heard, Texas Senator Ted Cruz is a man on a mission. He wants to take away your health care, even if that means bringing down our government, or a war within the GOP. But Cruz’ rhetoric isn’t just detrimental to his party. It’s contributing to a broader environment of paranoia that could have very real consequences for our democracy. The fear stoking is reminiscent of another Senator, a man from Wisconsin on his own mission. He also wanted to take his country back. Then, it was from the Communists who had supposedly infiltrated it. His name, of course? Joe McCarthy. And while Cruz’ mission this time around might be different, the rhetoric sounds eerily the same.  HH: Now Karen Finney, a couple of questions.  KF: Sure.  HH: Number one, when you said about Joe McCarthy he wanted to take it back from the Communists who had supposedly infiltrated, did any Communists infiltrate the United States government?  KF: Well, I think if we go back to the McCarthy hearings, it’s pretty clear that he A) created, you know, a culture of paranoia and fear that people later recognized was, you know, people sort of bought into it, and then recognized that it was absolutely misplace. I mean, that’s the point.  HH: But Karen, did any Communists infiltrate our government?  KF: Please, go ahead and name them.  HH: Well, can you name them? I’m trying to figure out if you know if any of them did?  KF: Here’s the point. No, there weren’t Communists who infiltrated our government. I mean, that’s like Michele Bachmann accusing my friend, Huma Abedin, of actually being Muslim Brotherhood, because… HH: No, actually, it’s not.  KF: …she may have known somebody ..... . Here's the transcript; it's a fast read, and a hoot.  (Finney gets so twisted up in her panties that she doesn't know if she's talking or farting)  Or, here's the full audio Finney's too young to have witnessed the history, but so what?  It's why she went to school, right? What?  You say that, in 2001 New York University launched a Web site dedicated to the proposition that the late Alger Hiss was innocent. The Venona Files be damned!  Oh my.  I'm not even sure that Nation Magazine have ever conceded.  This insistence that they are never wrong is the hallmark of Liberalism, and now, the Democrat Party. ”
