I guess you could. I don't think he actually did that. Everyone he accused of being a communist mole turned out to be a communist mole when the Venona papers were revealed.

I guess, like BOR said to Glenn Beck, "we have nothing to fear from communists in this country." When we have RINOs instituting the same kind of policies BOR has a point.

McCarthy got his ball rolling by claiming he had in his hand evidence for x number of spies and traitors in the state dep't -- and that was a lie. *Some* of the people he accused turned out to be spies. Nixon took down Alger Hiss, and he was a spy, and a monstrously poor liar after he got out of prison and Nixon had disgraced himself. Somewhere in the Watergate transcripts, Nixon says, "the typewriter is always the key. We did it in the Hiss case." Decades later, Buckhead did it in the Dan Rather case. :')
