I’m beginning to think that the only thing the left found wrong with the 1950s blacklists was that they were aimed at . . . the left.

If i were advising Rick Santorum or Mike Huckabee, I'd tell them to cut back on the references to Milton Friedman and von Mises in my stump speeches. Instead, start reading modern muckrakers and feel free to bash the excesses and idiocy of the Wall Street gang.
After all, it worked for Teddy Roosevelt.
