Joe Scarborough: “What radicals do is, and what they have done by defining deviancy down as up, is radicals attack conventional beliefs…”

“What radicals do is, and what they have done by defining deviancy down as up, is radicals attack conventional beliefs, they attack the foundation of this Republic, the views by our Founding Fathers, because that is the only way they can seem less radical. They attack the Ten Commandments as being radical and unconstitutional even though the father of our Constitution says that America's civilization is based on the Ten Commandments. They attack the Boy Scouts, saying it is a radical organization. They attack the Christian right. I have never heard them attack the Christian left. I will be really honest. It is so politically correct to attack the Christian right that many people who agree with the Christian right do not come close to them because they have been the third rail of American politics for some time, touch them and you die. If I stand up and support something that the Christian right is doing, then I am immediately a member of a suspect class, much as in the past those on the left were seen as members of the suspect class. It is a modern version of McCarthyism.”
