      A quick Google searched yielded this: Eisenhower/Republican republican infighting. Choice quote from the article: “To Eisenhower it seemed that the press, at once credulous and cynical, was building up McCarthy.” 😕https://www.google.nl/amp/s/www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/517782/ …

      Eisenhower was vital in political terms. But, in looking for public theater in which McCarthy was exposed for the cruel fraud that he was, it's hard to miss the exchange with Joseph Welch. That's the comparison with the promise (now lost) of the Remnick/Bannon moment.

      This was not how Joe McCarthy was “done in” and demonstrates a profound misunderstanding of McCarthy’s place in American political history. (THREAD) https://twitter.com/Gladwell/status/1036951312204746752 …

      What does @DavidAstinWalsh demonstrate? Not only does it address almost none of Gladwell's claim, it is constantly putting quotes in its responses as if Gladwell made a claim that it's refuting. It's incredibly disingenuous and misleading.

      By refusing to engage in or refute Bannon's ideology, you provide no compelling counterargument, no competing vision for people to believe in. You create a vacuum filled by Bannon who has all the distribution he could possibly want already.

      It's not as if the New Yorker is full of his audience anyways. His audience is listening to him every day already. Some off-topic ramblings by a history grad student doesn't address that central argument, and you won't address it here either.

      In all seriousness, one of my points in the thread is that McCarthyism didn’t simply go away after 1954, but became central to conservative politics.

      That’s why the myth of the AMH and the Murrow moment—which is what Gladwell was referring to—are so misleading. Because those myths exceptionalize McCarthy.

      The argument is over whether or not people like Bannon or McCarthy should be engaged by those that disagree with them. While your thread was (seriously) fascinating and very educational on the history around McCarthy, it did not whatsoever address that argument.

      Sigh. Gladwell wrote: "Joe McCarthy was done in when he was confronted by someone with intelligence and guts, before a live audience." It's false because McCarthy's downfall had to do with something bigger (fact he picked fight with army). Welch moment was spectacle not decisive

          It's not a charitable assumption to read "done in" as "single-handled ending the anti-communist witchhunt"; it's pretty obvious he means that he lost the interaction.

          Thanks for doing your part to ensure that Bannon gets to continue to his work without having to face criticism in a setting that will be difficult to deflect though! Your nation's Neo-Nazis thank you. "Sigh"
