    Senator Joseph McCarthy rose from obsurity, flared briefly as a crusader against Communist infiltrators, and died young, villified and rebuked. For years his name has been the ultimate "nuke" from the Left: "MaCarthyism..." And yet... recent revelations seem to show that if anything old "tailgunner Joe" underestimated the numbers infiltrators in the government... what's the truth?     http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/934207/posts Joe McCarthy Was RightNewsMax (via email) | June 23, 2003 | NewsMax     http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/933775/posts Joe McCarthy Vindicated, Againwww.chuckmorse.com ^ | June 20, 2003, | Chuck Morse     http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/932950/posts The Origins of McCarthyismThe Weekly Standard ^ | 06/30/03 | Robert...

    Most Europeans are unlikely to be familiar with the facts behind the American term “McCarthyism.” They probably know it describes something very bad in American politics—the “Communist witch hunts” of more than half a century ago. They may also know that simply uttering the term, like casting a spell, stops all debate cold by associating someone with the eponymous Joseph McCarthy. As the story goes, he was himself very bad. After all, he conducted those long ago “Communist witch hunts,” ruining his name in perpetuity. This probably exhausts general knowledge. But here’s a secret: Most Americans know little more than...

    Two weeks ago, the Christian world solemnly celebrated the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the Jews the Feast of Purim. Easter has passed; nevertheless, because of the 40th anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (marked yesterday), my heart is still in a solemn mood, so I will endeavor to memorialize another authentic American hero, a forgotten and complex man. Sen. Joseph McCarthy, R-Wis., was a man's man whose very name to this day engenders fear, malediction and loathing from progressive intellectuals, academics, Hollywood and politicians – both Republicans and Democrats who if...

    The Best Quotes From Ann Coulter's 'Treason' by Ann Coulter "McCarthyism" means pointing out positions taken by liberals that are unpopular with the American people. As former President Bush said, "Liberals do not like me talking about liberals." The reason they sob about the dark night of fascism under McCarthy is to prevent Americans from ever noticing that liberals consistently attack their own country." -- Ann Coulter, P. 4 "Liberals don't mind discussing who is more patriotic if patriotism is defined as redistributing income and vetoing the Pledge of Allegiance. Only if patriotism is defined as supporting America do they...

    COMMUNISM IN AMERICA: Ann Coulter recently spoke about Joseph McCarthy and called him an American patriot and phrophet who was way ahead of his time. Few people paid any attention to her comments while many screamed foul but I give her credit because Mr. McCarthy recognized Communist infiltration into our society and political system and the danger this posed to the future of the U.S. He was demonized and discredited. Why? Because he was exposing Communism in America. To those who believe that the threat of Communism disovled with the breakup of the United Soviet Socialist Republic, that is what...
  • Russian and Iranian experts consult on nuclear cooperation [Russia delivering enriched uranium.]

    Moscow - Senior Russian and Iranian officials met in Moscow Thursday to discuss completion of the nuclear power plant at Bushehr and a proposal to enrich uranium in Russia for use in Tehran's civil nuclear power industry. Sergei Kiriyenko, the head of Russia's nuclear power agency Rosatom, hosted the meeting with Iranian ambassador Gholamreza Ansari and Mohammad Saeedi, deputy head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran. Saeedi said before leaving Tehran that he wanted to discuss 'fuel deliveries to the Bushehr nuclear power plant and a final date for its physical launch.' The first reactor of the station is...

    ARE YOU NOW OR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN A SECOND-RATE FILMMAKER? By Ann Coulter1 hour, 1 minute ago As noted here previously, George Clooney's movie "Good Night, and Good Luck," about pious parson Edward R. Murrow and Sen. Joseph McCarthy, failed to produce one person unjustly accused by McCarthy. Since I described McCarthy as a great American patriot defamed by liberals in my 2003 book, "Treason," liberals have had two more years to produce a person -- just one person -- falsely accused by McCarthy. They still can't do it. Meanwhile, I can prove that Murrow's good friend Lawrence Duggan...

    Discussing the Iraq war with the Washington Post last week, former General Anthony Zinni took the path chosen by so many anti-Semites: he blamed it on the Jews. Neither President Bush nor Vice-President Cheney—nor for that matter Zinni’s old friend, Secretary of State Colin Powell—was to blame. It was the Jews. They “captured” both Bush and Cheney, and Powell was merely being a “good soldier.” Technically, the former head of the Central Command in the Middle East didn’t say “Jews.” He instead used a term that has become a new favorite for anti-Semites: “neoconservatives.” As the name implies, “neoconservative” was...

    <p>Of all the many national and ideological clashes of the 20th century, none was more colossal than Communism. It emerged triumphant in Russia in 1917 and reached for world domination in the 1940s. And as unlikely as it seems today, at that time, many Western intellectuals confidently predicted Communism's ultimate triumph.</p>

    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. Ann Coulter's new book won't hit bookstores 'til Tuesday and NewsMax has some of the first copies. Click here for our FREE offer for "Treason". Coulter says that liberal ideologues disguised as historians have consistently covered up treason with their attacks on patriots like McCarthy. She writes that the Left had to "fight back like animals" to destroy McCarthy. Much of Coulter's research is backed up by recently released...

    <p>WASHINGTON (AP) - Pushing an anti-communist crusade that riveted America a half century ago, Joseph McCarthy manipulated his Senate hearings by calling witnesses he could intimidate and ignoring those likely to oppose him, newly released transcripts show.</p> <p>Among the roughly 400 witnesses covered in transcripts of closed door meetings, made public Monday by the Senate, are composer Aaron Copland, New York Times journalist James Reston and Eslanda Goode Robeson, the wife of blacklisted singer-actor Paul Robeson. Some 4,000 pages of newly released documents also show that McCarthy was convinced that many writers, government officials and secretaries had access to classified information.</p>
