“Move On” is something for Republicans to do.

The irony is he was a Communist.

But they got McCarthy’s scalp anyway.

It only took us half a century to learn the truth.

He repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment. Why, if he was not a Commie?

The left likes to pretend the Venona transcripts didn’t happen.

“I didn’t consider the American Labor Party or the Communist Party subversive organizations,” (Dr. Peress)

Peress was a commie. The Venona Intercepts proved that beyond doubt.

"Dr. Peress was branded a Communist and his promotion — unsought by him, a reluctant warrior — became a Cold War battle cry."

The NYTs lies with as bold a face as their dearest leader Hussein Obama! The actual facts are exactly the opposite of their Times Orwellian screed. Here are the facts (from "The Real McCarthy Record" by James J. Drummey*):

His name was Irving Peress and here is some background information. In December 1953, an Army general alerted Senator McCarthy to the incredible story of this New York dentist who was drafted into the Army as a captain in October 1952; who refused a month later to answer questions on a Defense Department form about membership in subversive organizations; who was recommended for dismissal by the Surgeon General of the Army in April 1953; but who requested and received a promotion to major the following October. Roy Cohn gave the facts on Peress to Army Counsel John G. Adams in December 1953, and Adams promised to do something about it.

When still no action had been taken on Peress a month later, McCarthy subpoenaed him before the committee on January 30, 1954. Peress took the Fifth Amendment 20 times when asked about his membership in the Communist Party, his attendance at a Communist training school, and his efforts to recruit military personnel into the party.

he was a friend’s dentist in the late 70’s, he had copies of “Soviet Life” in his waiting room- in my friend’s words, “big, happy women riding tractors on the covers”.
