Joe McCarthy Was Right

Coulter: Sen. Joe McCarthy Was Right In her best-selling book “Treason,” author Ann Coulter rips the lid off of established liberal “history” while claiming that Sen. Joseph McCarthy has been vindicated. (snip)
Much of Coulter’s research is backed up by recently released Soviet papers and the five-volume release to the public, for the first time, of the closed-door hearings by the McCarthy Senate committee 50 years ago. They were made public last month after “Treason” had gone to the printer. Put the book and the hearings together, and you have the damning evidence. (snip)

Coulter did not do any “research”. She is a polemicist, not a scholar. She uses inflammatory language to generate income, not to provide fact-based insights into any subject under scrutiny.
If you search for ANY scholar who cites Coulter as any sort of expert on the McCarthy period, you will engage in a futile exercise because she has absolutely no record of scholarship -— no peer-reviewed articles, no new research into primary sources, no interviews, no FOIA requests, NOTHING.
