Wisconsin hasn't produced a decent national political figure since Joseph McCarthy was destroyed by the Marxist government-media complex.

The only thing that destroyed McCarthy was his paranoia and alcoholism habit.
And I mean that literally, he died of his alcoholism.
It wouldn't be surprising if you, Mr. Forney, went down that path like he did.
Wisconsin hasn't produced a decent national political figure since Joseph McCarthy was destroyed by the Marxist government-media complex.
So true; perfect example, Scott Walker.
Let me see, that wonderful guy who was a closeted gay and homophobe at the same time, didn't find a single comunist and sent inocent people to jail and, when exposed, he believed so much in his ideas that, instead of correcting his mistakes, he became alcoholic to drown his sorrows since he was not a star anymore? Right
So then, Wisconsin has never produced a decent national political figure?
And name exactly one communist spy that Joe McCarthy uncovered. And then explain exactly where in the U.S. Constitution where it says that being a communist is illegal.
Matt, go watch old footage of Senator McCarthy and then say that.
If you still sincerely believe this after, I hear the DPRK is nice. You'll fit in just fine.
Not even Scott Walker, the great reactionary himself who would have saved us from the evil of the Canadians by his great wall of the 49th parallel had he not dropped out of the presidential race?
Okay, I kind of agree with this guy, because I love the "sewer socialists" of Milwaukee so much and I'm endlessly infatuated by the US Socialist Party of the early 20th century and people like Emil Seidel and Victor Berger (not to mention Eugene Debs, but he's from Indiana). Oh, fuck Joe McCarthy, too, one of the most anti-American politicians of all time in this country.
So this dingleberry is NOT a fan of Snott Walker, Wisconsin's crossed eyed contribution to the republican grifting train?
It's a shame that our own contribution, the Outlaw Jersey Whale didn't roll over on him & flatten him like roadkill.
"Joseph McCarthy was destroyed by the Marxist government-media complex."
...no, it was when he tried his BS on with the US military: it was only then that it all blew up in his own face.
He becam a nobody among those of his own party. He died in a morass of alcohol and FAIL.
The only 'complex' that destroyed him? his own paranoia -based one.
You should read a book sometime, Matt Porney.
The ultimate irony? The Communist Party of USA still exists to this day.
Well, the legacy goes on: McCarthy's old hometown pal Judge Van Susteren had a daughter, Greta, now part of the, um, "Marxist government-media complex." And something tells me you wouldn't be that keen on other Wisconsin Republicans who became national figures, like Progressive Fighting Bob LaFollette.
Confused?
