It would not have happened by now. The liberal media kept up a charade about Eugene McCarthy and called his investigations into communist agents in our government a “witch hunt”. They kept up this charade for many years until the fall of the Soviet Union and revelations thereafter that proved McCarthy right: there were communists agents, on FDR’s staff, no less. They are the status quo and have known for 80 years or more that they can ridicule, ignore, demonize and characterize anyone who they disagree with and get away with it. That is what they have successfully done with the COLB. Anyone with a modicum of graphic arts training can see the mistakes in the fraudulent document posted on the White House web site. But if you question it, you are a “birther”. Even conservatives in the media are terrified of being ridiculed by the status quo. I believe the status quo media first realized the power they had with Walter Cronkite announcing a terrible defeat after the Tet Offensive, which, according to the commander of the North Vietnamese Army, was a major defeat for them. So, in postmodern times, it doesn’t matter what the truth is (Hillary’s “What difference does it make?”),truth is a casualty to the thirst for power, even when you have a president who is obviously not who he says he is.

I agree with you. Thanks.

I think you meant “Joseph McCarthy” and not “Eugene McCarthy” here. Eugene was the peacenik that got blown away by Nixon in 1968, Joseph was the one that pursued Communists in the government. HTH.

Senator Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in the presidential campaign of 1968.

Wisconsin Senator Joseph Mc Carthy was elected to the U.S. Senate 1946 as a Republican. In 1950 he publicly charged that 205 communists had infiltrated the U.S. State Department. Reelected in 1952, he became chair of the Senate's subcommittee on investigations, and for the next two years he investigated various government departments and questioned innumerable witnesses.

PS History has shown Joe McCarthy was actually underestimating the communist infiltration in the FDR and later administrations. Reference "The Verona Papers".
