Tara's Take

From Politico:  Florida Republican  Allen West channeled Joe McCarthy in a town hall event in Florida that he’s “heard” that up to 80 House Democrats are Communist Party members.

If Rep. Allen West, or any member of congress had said this 15-20 years ago, it would be huge news. 

The video version of the story that I produced for Current TV (The Young Turks) on Conservatives Bashing the new animated feature film “The Lorax”.  The cast also speaks out about the film’s environmental message and Republicans charge that global warming is a “hoax”.

More from the premiere of “The Lorax”  here  and here.
