exchange "terrorist" for "Communist" and you have deja-vu of McCarthyism. Upto this point in history, everybody looked back on the McCarthy era with a knowing smirk, and thought that they were so easily mislead back then. That it could never happen again.
Well, people have short memories, and are doomed to repeat that little bit of history.
