Independence Day

[Jones]

Yeah, I guess you're right and we are doing out fair share of drinking this weekend. Since you've seen the movie, what did jewish nerd kid mean by 'Neo-McCarthyism"? Remember, they were in the classroom and it was Tony, the Red-head girll and the dork who got his but kicked at the keg party? He said to Tony " Let's not resort to Neo-McCarthyism". What did he mean by that?
??

I actually barely remember it, cuz I only saw it once and that was 17 years ago, but Upstate got it right I think. Anytime someone starts sticking "neo" in front of an "ism" they're generally trying to sound intellectual, which is just what a nerdy kid would do
