AFL’CIO president to Sarah Palin: Change or be linked with McCarthyism

Christian Science Monitor, by Dave Cook Posted By: loosbolt- Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:47:57 GMT AFL'CIO President Richard Trumka charged Thursday that if Republican political star Sarah Palin is not more careful in her choice of words, the political movement she has helped to create will be linked with McCarthyism, the 1950s'era crusade by Sen. Joseph McCarthy to brand political enemies as communists. Mr. Trumka’s comments about his strained relations with Ms. Palin came at a Monitor'sponsored breakfast for reporters, where he was asked how his previous critical words about the 2008 GOP vice'presidential nominee squared with his call for union members to save their anger for “corporate lapdogs” and Senate Republicans.
