McCarthy??? MCCARTHY?????
You call yourself a “conservative”?
Here is the total, revealed by the Soviet archives, of all the people who were FALSELY accused by McCarthy of being Communists:
ZERO.
What is happening now is a moral panic, but is It is similar to McCarthyism in that it isn’t a bunch of false accusations. Whether you believe Moore’s accusers or not, it is obvious that Franken is guilty, Weinstein is guilty, Conyers is guilty, Simmons is guilty, Singer is guilty, Rose is guilty, etc..
McCarthy was right to oppose Communism and be concerned about its presence in places like the State Dept.
Ironically my mother worked at the State Department when McCarthy spoke of Communists working there. She wasn’t one of them but I’m certain real ones were there.
I prefer to compare the current activities to Soviet or Nazi ones than Senator McCarthy.
Nancy Reagan. She approached the Screen Actor's Guild president, Ronald Reagan for help clearing her maiden name. That's how they met.
