The 95 year old did not accuse Obama of being a communist. He did not say that Obama is not a Christian. He said that he doubts that Obama loves his country. He didn't say that he hated it. There are, as Spence attests, more centrist opinions. To not love is not to hate. There is, in between, indifference or detachment or lack of passion either way.
But to throw in the McCarthy card . . . sad.

I wasn't refering to the 95 year, I was refering to Saltheart stating he thought Obama doesn't love his country and that is why I quoted yhat post. In a broader sense I was refering to the tactics of what use to be the fringe right (not much different from the tactics of the fringe left) but is now so common amongst a great % of right (such as how A. West stated a lot of Dems where communists). Obama has been called all those things I said.
I don't think that the claims of the birthers where really any different than what McCarthy did.
