I’m reading “Blacklisted by History” by M. Stanton Evans. The re-writing of history that has taken place regarding McCarthy is incredible. This book is an eye-opener.

a senator chairing a house committee?

There's nothing wrong with what Mary Houlihan wrote. At least per the standards of the Chicago Slum-Times.

Your IQ has to be below 70 to get hired.

They would be better off pinning it on Nixon. It’s true he was VP in 1957, but at least he was actually on the committee in the 40’s and his investigations is credited with busting one of their biggest gets, commie Alger Hiss. Which they still hate Nixon for to this day..

[Bernard Marx]

And yet they still complain that Joe didn't get his facts right.

I can't count the number of anti-McCarthy rants I've stopped short with that simple fact. The actual history of that era has been deliberately and wildly distorted by pro-Communists.

I've even had some people tell me that their "uncle" or "father," etc. were "blacklisted" and called before the HCUA, then pilloried by McCarthy. They turn red-faced and sputter a lot when they're caught in such an obvious lie. McCarthy had absolutely nothing to do with Hollywood blacklisting or HCUA.

"In October 1957, Rogovin was caught in the net cast by the House Un-American Activities Committee helmed by Sen. Joseph McCarthy.

Joseph Raymond "Joe" McCarthy (November 14, 1908 – May 2, 1957)

Wow I didn't know a dead Senator helmed a house committee! You learn something new every day reading the Chicago Sun-Times!

In the Senate you had the McCarran committee that was similar to HUAC. McCarran as in the Las Vegas airport named after him. Nevada was ultra conservative. Now they elect Harry Reid

>> “If October, 1957 indeed represented the waning days of the Communist witch hunt, the situation was even worse for Joe McCarthy. He had died the previous May.” <<

Unfortunately!

Its a shame that he couldn’t have lived to see his work vindicated so completely.

[Hoodat]

I have always wondered how a Senator could be responsible for HUAC. More lies from the Left. It reminds me of a time when a liberal informed me that George Wallace was a Republican. Or another time when a liberal explained to me that all the Supreme Court Justices who decided the Dred Scott case were appointed by Republican Presidents. Or the time when . . .

[Uncle Miltie]

Plus, they got the name of the committee wrong.

HUAC, not HCUA.

[goldstategop]

Liberals in their eagerness to condemn McCarthy for every sin imaginable, can’t get basic facts straight.

Such as the differences between the House Of Representatives and the Senate!

[ex-snook]

McCarthy was wrong. There was a hell of lot more than 25 communists in Government.
