Palinism and McCarthyism in Health Care Debate
Richard Cohen compares Palin to McCarthy, coining “Palinism” as reckless unsubstantiated attacks on opponents. He argues Palin's death panel claim echoes McCarthyism, notes Republican reactions, and critiques health care reform rhetoric amid televised politicking. He cites Isakson, Murkowski, Gingrich, Grassley, and McCain, ending with Palin’s declining public rating and ongoing political impact.
