        It's embarrassing when someone several decades younger than you can immediately see through all the red scare bullshit you uncritically built your life around.

          I honestly think this is part of it. Biden, Hillary, none of these ghouls have investigated the history themselves, they just went along with what whatever was fed to them by AIPAC. I think they know young people do know the history, but their egos don’t let them admit some sophomore at Humboldt State know more than them.

          Blinken - who’s actually younger than most of these politicians - explained it when said in that chat with Romney that it used to be you picked up the Washington Post or Wall Street Journal off your doorstep and read it in the morning. Major newspapers and TV news, that’s the only way they people ever learned about history or the world around them. And as we all know, that’s a pretty low quality source of information.
