McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason without proper regard for evidence. It also means "the practice of making unfair allegations or using unfair investigative techniques, especially in order to restrict dissent or political criticism."

Using a Communist’s own words to convict him is unfair.

From all the accounts I have read Joe McCarthy was mostly correct in his accusations of those accused of being Communists and Foreign Agents, they just didn’t like having it pointed out.

The Communist infiltration of the Democrat party was true then and true today.

According to Bill Clinton’s favorite Georgetown prof Carroll Quigley, McCarthy’s core were unorganized white collar labor disadvantage by collusion between management and organized blue collar labor, as Henry Ford gave raises to his workers so they could buy Model Ts and he could become self capitalizing, thus cutting out banks. We clerks, like George Orwell’s Winston Smith, were informed enough to think enemies were in key positions in State. Problem is, opened Soviet intelligence files and the Venona Transcripts say McCarthy was right. Edward R. Murrow brought the New Left’s Herbert Marcuse of the Frankfurt School to this country to turn 3 generations of college classrooms into civil crime schools. Hence Big Br’O.

On the other side, Adolph Hitler gave Henry Ford 50,000 reichsmarks every birthday, and the Protocols of the Ancient Elders of Zion were printed on the presses of Ford’s Dearborn Independent.

Everyone assumes that McCarthy convened committee hearings to smear people as being communists. Actually the Tydings committee was convened by Sen. Millard Tydings to force McCarthy to name the alleged communists and fellow travelers in the State Dept. It was McCarthy who was in the hot seat. And Tydings basically considered a denial as proof that someone wasn't a communist. The commies would deny being commies, and Tydings would thank them and then apologize for taking up their time.

Most of the government employees, elected representatives and lobbyists could be rationally be named “foreign agents.” They advocate for and pursue foreign interests over American interests. Those to advocate to overthrow our government and replace it with a global government are foreign agents. In most cases they are Marxists.
