Move over McCarthy, here comes McBride

If this continues, we may have to call it McBrideism instead of McCarthyism.

Jessica McBride's latest complaint is that the media, in its news stories, calls Bush supporters conservatives but doesn't call Cindy Sheehan and anti-war protestors left-wing radical pinkos. Earlier, she had tried to link Sheehan to communist influences through Code Pink, one of many groups supporting Sheehan.

A sample piece of more recent guilt-by-association from McBride:

Left out of the piece? Sheehan is, in fact, buttressed by extreme Left-wing organizations such as Code Pink and the anti-Israel Crawford Peace House, among others. She has appeared in an anti-Bush television commercial created by PR guru David Fenton, a former photographer for the militant and violent Weathermen subversive organization. He also does PR for moveon.org and a group of 9/11 families that harshly criticized Bush.

I've never heard of David Fenton, but I doubt that he pretends to be neutral when it comes to George Bush and the war in Iraq.

Is MoveOn now equivalent to the Weather Underground? If so, McBride and her conspiracy theory friends will be able to link all sorts of Dems to it.

Did you know that McBride once lived in Shorewood, which is right next to Whitefish Bay, which is the hometown of Bernadine Dohrn of the Weather Underground? Just wondering. Do you think there's a connection? Do I have to mention it every time I mention McBride?
