      That's not the point, it's giving credence to depraved neo-McCarthyism that purposely echoes old time anti-communist red-baiting

      The Rangel thing about Communism was idiotic. Russia isn't anywhere close to a communist state anymore.

      It's also ill-informed. But the Kevin Drum piece was not that.

      It's insisting to a liberal audience that the constant deranged hysteria is actually fine, and not to worry too much about it

      That's the effect. When there's a propagandistic tidal wave, and you legitimize it, you're aiding the propagandists.

      That view leaves zero room for legitimate debate. I can't agree to that.

      There's legitimate debate to be had -- I don't view this as a contribution on that front.

      All of that about NATO and existing treaties isn't legitimate?

      On its own terms, yes. Not in the context of the current unhinged frenzy, which Drum invokes and legitimizes.
