“American traitors working for the Kremlin penetrated and subverted the U.S. government”
Looks like he was right.
Amen. May the honor be restored to his name, it is richly deserved.
He was a drunk, paranoid, and often wrongly accused people of being Commies. He’s no hero.
"Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America's Enemies", by M. Stanton Evans.
Brilliant book, a must read, by someone who was there.
Joe was right! Can you imagine what he’d say about a Communist sitting in the White House?
The liberals have done such a thorough job demonizing Sen. McCarthy, they have created such myths about that period including that McCarthy was somehow involved with the blacklistings in Hollywood. Truth is McCarthy had little or no interest in Hollywood. His attention was focused on where the spies and Communist cells were doing the most damage to our national security and passing intel to the Soviets, the State Department, the Treasury Department, and yes even the DoD. McCarthy had good reason to believe there were large Soviet spy rings operating in the capital. the defctions of Whittaker Chambers and Elizabeth Bently operating in the notorious Ware spy ring in the nation’s capital confirm that higher ups in the FDR-HST Administrations including Alger Hiss and Harry Dexter White and many many others were active participants in these communist spy rings. Yet Joe McCarthy continues to get a bum’s rap. For further reading I suggest M. Stanton Evan’s thoroughly detailed and researched book, Blacklisted by History. It is time rehabilitate Sen. McCarthy. It was the liberals cover up for their golden boy, Alger Hiss, that created much of this mythology. Even President Nixon, who was never much of a conservative, would never be forgiven by the liberals for exposing Alger Hiss.
I have one of those daily tear off calendars. One of the sheets has a blasting of McCarthy that is just plain Hollyweird correct. That he was outrageous, drunk, loud mouthed, shooting from the hip, totally wrong, ruined careers, etc. It even says that he never once found a communist member in all of his witch hunts, an unbelievable mistake.
Most of the communists that he exposed used the Metzenbaum excuse when accused of being a member of the communist party: “I can’t believe that you’re accusing me of that!” “Please answer the questions.” “Outrageous to accuse me of that.” “Are now or have you ever been a member of the communist party?” “I can’t believe that you’re accusing me of that.” “Yes or no.” “Outrageous.”
This is one of those libtard history re-writes like the re-writing of the history of the Republican Party to be a bunch of racists, homophobes (whatever that means), KKK, etc.
Since the Stupid Party has never had anyone except Reagan and Palin to try to set these idiots straight, the rewriting of history continues.
Communism was not headquartered in Moscow but run out of Wall Street and the City of London.
WALL STREET AND THE BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION
FROM MAJOR JORDAN'S DIARIES - Atomic Tech Shipped to the Soviets
Were I in McCarthy’s position I’d make him look like amateur hour. Our own “Nuremburg trials” against Communists and Marxists would proceed expeditiously and concurrently in every state in this nation, and the penalties would be as cost-effective as they would be brutal.
Truer words were never more spoken; the American people just can't understand much of anything.
