The term was coined as part of a coordinated effort to disrupt the lives and careers of Americans whose “crime” was in not being members of the Right Wing Lunatic Fringe during the McCarthy Era.
Now we have representatives of groups who walk hand in hand with Nazism criticizing us for pointing out the fact that they’re Fellow Travelers with the Nazis.
What have they got to complain about? It’s their own damn concept.
As I recall, the groups they represent today as being Fighters for Freedom, during the McCarthy Witch-hunts just like those of today, did NOTHING to stop the madness and the degradation of Human Rights in America.
When they say they did, they’re quite simply Lying.
It’s familiar territory for them, they’re Good Friends of the Untruth.
