Wednesday Jan 25 listening thread Jim & Sam

Fucking Sam is infuriating. He won't shut up about cutting off somebody's balls as if he's qualified to make that decision. He is so unaware as to where all thought, sexual or otherwise, originates.

Spiro Agnew in-studio.

No that's Estes Kefauver, not Spiro Agnew.

Kefauver was the leftist politician who brought comic books before the senate commitee on juvenile delinquency after Wertham wrote his book "Seduction of the innocent" and ruined many people's careers. Wertham's book asserted that comics promoted fascist, racist, and right-wing authoritative ideas in children. It was the 1950s left's version of McCarthyism.

And decades later people think comics got in trouble for suspected "communist" influence.

But he looked fantastic wearing a coonskin cap.

Yep. That came from this incident:

"His progressive stances on the issues put Kefauver in direct competition with E. H. Crump, the former U.S. congressman, mayor of Memphis and boss of the state's Democratic Party, when he chose to seek the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in 1948. During the primary, Crump and his allies accused Kefauver of being a "fellow traveler," and of working for the "pinkos and communists," with the stealth of a raccoon. In a televised speech given in Memphis, in which he responded to such charges, Kefauver put on a coonskin cap and proudly proclaimed, "I may be a pet coon, but I'm not Boss Crump's pet coon.""

Now comic book nerds think he was a McCarthyist.
