The “have you no decency” quote came from the exchange where McCarthy said that Fred Fisher,another attorney from Welch’s firm, belonged to a communist front organization. The organization in question was the National Lawyer’s Guild, not communist at all, but dedicated to civil rights. The “pixie-fairy” exchange was different. Cohn was a homophobic closet homosexual and the implication was that he and Schine were lovers and Cohn was trying to keep Schine from going to Korea, so he could keep on schining his knob. Ironically, Cohn died of AIDS in 1986 after battling against gay rights. Also, I read somewhere that McCarthy was a junkie and Anslinger supplied his heroin. This great amerikkkan, as Ann Coulter calls him, did die of alcoholism. ---

Damn, I actually found a cite for the McCarthy-Anslinger connection: “But, different researchers have found support for the proposition that McCarthy regularly used morphine, refused to quit and was eventually given an unlimited supply of the drug by the head of the federal government’s drug war. A good discussion of the evidence is presented in John C. McWilliams’ biography of Harry J. Anslinger, Commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics from 1930- 1962.” [http://www.drugwar.com/youngmccarthy.shtm](http://www.drugwar.com/youngmccarthy.shtm) I will have to revise my opinion of McCarthy. Anybody that can get his dope straight from the head of the FBN/DEA has my vote. That is about as ironic as George W. Bush being head of the National Narcotics Border Interdiction System. ---

great! Just when someone finally agrees with me, he’s banned! yes, i agree with David Icke on the “behind the scenes people” controlling everything. he provides a lot of proof. However, the reptilian thing is crazy, unless… he’s working for ‘them", and putting the Truth out there and adding the crazinessa bout reptile people to discredit everyone who finalyl realizes this is true. Clever… really, when big brother takes over, don’t say you weren’ warned. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by jharek \* > \*\*50% of the people OWN their homes with NO lien? No payment to the bank? I think not. \*\* So fucking what? It’s a conspiracy because the majority of people don’t have $100k+ lying around to purchase a home without a loan? The banks are providing a service, which people choose to take advantage of. Home ownership sans mortgages becomes a difficult proposition for many. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-not-re-elect-bush-2004/120154.md?page=4)
