McCarthy never found a “witch” in his hamhanded investigations. Read my late friend’s book (M. Stanton Evans), “Blacklisted by History” for a newer view on McCarthy and his investigations.
By the way, McCarthy was a nasty bastard and did hurt other internal security investigations. Also he and Roy Cohen sometimes didn’t understand the actual history or value/lack of any value of a specific document (which I showed Stan Evans when he found one of McCarthy’s original Reds in Government lists in the National Archives).
Hope this gives you a little more insight into the Wonderful World of Subversion.
I seem to remember that McCarthy had a drinking problem but who didn’t those days in DC. What I find most interesting is McCarthy’s close relationship with the Kennedy clan. I remember reading that he used to date one of the Kennedy girls (obviously not Rosemary!). Don’t forget RFK was a lawyer working under Cohen.
Take a look at our government today probably 60% devout
Communists, and another 25% heavily leaning, then tell
me once again McCarthy was off track.
Do you agree that active Communist party members should
be walking the halls of Congress? Do you believe that
those who simply prefer it to Capitalism should be,
party member of not?
