When the Venona papers became availabe, and exposed the extent of Soviet infiltration, I was under the mistaken impression that the GOP would run with the material and rehabilitate Joe McCarthy. I got that one wrong, as they ignored it.

"Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is being compared by several conservatives to the late Sen. Joe McCarthy."

If that be the case then I would vote for this man EVERY time I had the chance... Joe McCarthy was RIGHT.!!

Yes, we could use him doing his witch hunt right now. In fact, I’m sure that they would be vastly more fruitful this time around.

The fact of the matter is that the late Senator Joe McCarthy was absolutely correct and on target with everything that he warned us about. He deserves to be held in the highest esteem!

Neither appears with Senator Joe McCarthy in the title. I may have been listening to Malkin during a book review where she states that Senator Joe McCarthy was assuredly correct in his US-Communist inquiries.

Sad what we’re seeing now—openly Marxist legions. “Obamanistas” busy “transforming America”.

Formerly-smug Europeans must now be alarmed at our undoing—not to mention the Philippine Islands and Taiwan.

“They really love mavericks — you go way back to Joe McCarthy,” he said. “They do love people who rattle the cage an awful lot and bring up topics that maybe people don’t want to talk about.”

We do. It doesn’t happen nearly ENOUGH, though.

Feckless RINOs in my state, as well.

I hope Johnson runs again. If not, Gov. Scott Walker or Sean Duffy would be fine as my Senator, too.

I’m REALLY hoping Rebecca Kleefisch (Ex Lt. Gov.) runs for Governor. She’ll mop the floor with ‘One and Done’ pencil-necked, clueless Evers! :)

Former radio host Charlie Sykes, a conservative who the Times says is credited for helping Johnson rise to prominence ahead of his election to the Senate in 2010, said last week that the senator has “turned into” McCarthy. “I don’t know how he went from being a chamber of commerce guy to somebody who sounds like he reads the Gateway Pundit every day,” Sykes said, according to the Times. “He’s turned into Joe McCarthy.”

There should be statues of Joe McCarthy.
