Stephen Cohen: ‘New Cold War’ and ‘Neo-McCarthyism’ Are Coming from Liberals, Progressives

RUSH EXCERPT:
COHEN: "I used to live among liberals and Progressives so it pains me to say that the new Cold War on the American side and now a little neo-McCarthyism is coming from liberals and Progressives primarily. I mean, the point is that -- I can’t remember in my lifetime when a publication like the “New York Times” would refer to the man who has been elected president of the United States as a lackey of the Kremlin. Where have we gone? When a “New York Times” columnist says that Donald Trump is the Kremlin’s poodle and Putin’s puppet. We are libeling our own president. But it may be — I mean, who can be sure that it may be that they are absolutely determined to prevent the kind of cooperation with Russia that will make it safer. I will go one step farther and say maybe to the horror or shock of some of your viewers that Vladimir Putin is potentially America’s most essential, valuable national security partner. And I refer in particular to the war against terrorism and we always omit one thing, the terrorists are in pursuit of nuclear material. If you put those two together and nothing could be more dangerous today."
