Harry Reid=Joe McCarthy?

At least "Tailgunner" Joe had a reason to chase boogey-men during the Cold War. Are there any Democrats questioning why their fearless U.S. Senate leader is focusing so heavily on polygamists when there are plenty of other important issues facing America?

Here is what Old Joe and Old Harry have in common in their witchhunts: some people were/are guilty of crimes...there were commies in the State Department and there is statutory abuse going on in some polygamist communities. Oh yeah, they have this in common as well: both have overstepped their bounds...the State Department wasn't full of commies and polygamist communities aren't full of abusers.

I have a theory about why Democrats are conspicuously silent on Old Harry's witchhunt...and I'll share it with you, if you first tell me why you guys are so quiet about this.
