But in terms of a one-day nuclear shutdown of an American citizen and his rights to free speech, I have never seen anything on the level of what was meted out to RFK Jr. yesterday — by both Democrats in Congress and the mainstream media, with the exception of FOX News.  In fact, you'd have to go back to the Army-McCarthy hearings of 1954 to find such enmity in the halls of Congress.  Even the bipartisan Watergate hearings of 1973 were tame in comparison.

Even before the hearing started yesterday, on Monday, as reported by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D. in his excellent article on the hearing at The Defender, Reps. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) and Judy Chu (D-Calif.) sent a letter signed by 102 House Democrats to the House Republican leadership, requesting they "rescind Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s invitation to testify."
