Former ambassador Baucus appears regularly on Chinese propaganda outlets
As the novel coronavirus wreaks havoc across the world, the Obama administration’s ambassador to China has found a second lease on life as a pro-China talking head on regime propaganda outlets.
Former ambassador Max Baucus has given at least four different interviews to Chinese propaganda outlets in the last two weeks, repeatedly comparing the U.S. rhetoric about China to both the McCarthy era and Nazi Germany.
“Joe McCarthy [and] Adolf Hitler … rallied people up, making people believe things that were really not true,” Baucus said during a May 12 interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN), a regime mouthpiece. “The White House and some in Congress are making statements against China that are so over the top and so hypercritical, they are based not on the fact, or if they are based on fact, sheer demagoguery, and that’s what McCarthy did in the 1950s.” more

@JimmieMWiggins, Wow I didn’t know you could make that much in gay porn! Keep up the great work.
China pays better.
At first, anyway.
I recently watched the first episode of I Spy (Robert Culp & Bill Cosby). 1965 – and guess what! It was about a star athlete who sold out to China. It was all good for a while, until he realized that they controlled his every move and that the chunk of money they promised him just wasn’t worth it.
@ LCD: The differences from that I Spy episode are that 1) Mux Bogus doesn’t realize when he’s been had and 2), that he doesn’t care as long as he’s well paid and petted.
Max Baucus has an opinion; so what?
I believe the overwhelming evidence we’re seeing right now that McCarthy was 100% correct about communist infiltration, especially Hollywood.
That’s MY opinion.
I tried to tell my friends in MT that this guy was a fucking stooge even though he tried to play the salt of the earth rancher.
How can a cushy lifestyle provide enough for you to rat out your own country?
@ MMinAR: And you were absolutely dead right! The problem is, there are lots of congenital (d)s in MT, many of them people who benefit from fed $ largesse and others descendants of multi-generation union folks and academics. It IS a pity. The State gets screwed EVERY time, despite the fed $ the (d)s suck in.
