    Default Have you noticed the similarity?

    Have you noticed the similarity between the House Jan 6th committee and the House Un-American Activities Committee of the 50's? There have been other similar precedents too:

    The Overman committee of 1918 - 19
    The Fish committee 1930
    The McCormack–Dickstein Committee 1934–37
    The Dies Committee 1938–44

    All had one thing in common. They seized on a perceived political threat and then proceeded to ignore US law, the constitution, and any rights of those accused to destroy them. For every person that even marginally was rightfully accused dozens, even hundreds, of others were dragged down and ruined by these committees.

    The Jan 6th committee today is doing no less a gross and shameful disservice to America. But the Democrats don't give a shit if it means they can destroy their political opponents...

    No, because subsequent disclosures proved that HUAC was on the right track.

    UM, Americans now are deeply ignorant about history, they simply dont care.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    Isn't storming the Capitol to stop the certification and trying to keep Trump as president un-American?

    Not when the election was cheated. How many prior charges did all these people charged with crimes (against the Democrat bullshit) have?

    What's that? Impeccable service record? Honorably discharged? Yeah.

    Yes, it is. It's both un-American and a crime.

    Sorry dude. Congress does NOT have authority to choose the electors for any State.
    Seven States never chose their electors. The election faulted due to election fraud by Democrats.

    Don't be ridiculous.
    The HUAC hearings were in black and white, not Hi-Def..

    The collapse of the republic was already beginning then.
    Who could have guessed it would take this long?

    No, forming a committee in Congress to persecute and slander the innocent along with pillorying anyone who disagrees with them is un-American. In fact, it's downright fascist.
