Dana Milbank swings and misses at Andy McCarthy

*Andy McCarthy spoke yesterday at the National Press Club about the Obama administration’s increasing coziness with the Muslim Brotherhood. One of the concerns he addressed is the relationship between Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Clinton, and the Brotherhood.

 

Dana Milbank of the Washington Post attended the event. In his column today, he attacks McCarthy’s views on the matter of Ms. Abedin. Predictably, the Post’s Clown Prince accuses Andy of “McCarthyism.”

I’ll add one more point. Whatever one makes of Abedin’s associations, the concerns of McCarthy and Bachmann are, at a minimum, intelligible. Compare that with the connection Milbank purports to find between the attack on Sikhs in Wisconsin, Mitt Romney’s criticism of the Obama administration’s new position on “workfare,” Newt Gingrich’s reference to President Obama as “the food-stamp president,” and Andy McCarthy’s appearance at the Press Club.

* Well worth your time.
