Senator Joe McCarthy 'branded' NO ONE a communist. He asked the pertinent question: "Are you now or have you ever been a member of the communist party?". A simple yes or no answer was all that was needed.

You want to have a club that brands people communist?
What would be the point?
Edit -
OK, I still want to know what is the point, but I stand corrected. Let me rephrase:
You want a club that goes around asking people "Are you now or have you ever been a member of the communist party?", along with all of the historical baggage that brings?
You shouldn't be so quick to dismiss me, because I do know of a group of people that are doing just that in the political arena, although they haven't realized it yet, or why it is not effective for them.
I would be interested via email in the details of you perspective - what are the pros (or cons if yo are trolling :) of such a club?
Because if you make even the remotest amount of sense, I can point you towards the membership of your first chapter :) (all adults by the way!)

Some Neocons do. People afraid and paranoid of communists. Btw, I am Edward R. Murrow see my Report on Senator McCarthy on See It Now. I left copies of it on a few Internet sites.

The best thing Senator McCarthy did for this country was to die in office.
