Most of the articles in the link you gave say *MOST* of the people accused by McCarthy were what he said they were. It's right there in the brief excerpts on the search page.

At any rate it is a very weak analogy. McCarthy; overzealous commie hunter = Romney; brings about statist health care system. Lame.

McCarthy disgraced the very idea of commie hunting with his hearings on the Army. As the opposing counsel said, after having been on television with this, you’re not fooling anyone either — this in response to McCarthy’s cheap demagogue trick of saying “you’re not fooling anyone.”

Romney has done a similar disservice to the concept of gov’t-run fake health care. Romneycare — which he still supports — was passed (not decreed by Romney) in one of the most hot/cold liberal states in the Union. If there were more MSM coverage of its failure, these leftist scumbags in Washington wouldn’t be ramming this through right now. Regardless, Romney isn’t in Congress, he isn’t in the White House, and blaming him for bringing on socialism — which has had the US in its grip since FDR — is “Lame”.
