Reader comment on: Gruberism at USA Today

Submitted by John Gillis (United States), Nov 17, 2014 18:15

You've hit upon a great new word: Gruberism. This has the potential to eclipse McCarthyism in American politics. A potent concept naming, malicious contempt for the citizenry. Or, the end justifies any means in putting policy over the citizenry. Or, the arrogance of those who think they can treat the citizenry as puppets to be manipulated. It all amounts to the same thing: Gruberism!! Prof. Gruber deserves to have his name go down in infamy, in the same way that the malicious McCarthy did with his name.
