Just now they are noticing? People have been financially ruined, lost jobs and had careers and reputations destroyed for far less than the mere half decade or so of so-called “McCarthyism”. And Joe McCarthy was actually right most of the time.
“And Joe McCarthy was actually right most of the time.”
IIRC, after the Soviet Union died in 1991, material from their archives from that period basically vindicated what McCarthy and Richard Nixon and others had said and done regarding Communist witch-hunts. I can also remember that both JFK and his father thought very highly of Senator McCarthy as well.
Re “McCarthyism” one of Hollywood’s many dirty secrets is that there never was a blacklist even though they still whine about it six decades later. The so-called Hollywood 10 just kept working under pseudonyms for a few years, then began using their real names again.
Thank you for that!
I am sick to death of hearing the name of the great American patriot Senator Joe McCarthy, used in such a distorted and reckless manner!
The current version of the Communist Party who call themselves democRATs, validate and vindicate virtually everything that the late Senator tried to warn us about when he was alive. They do so on an almost hourly basis.
If I had my way about it, a monument would be erected in our nation’s capitol in his honor.
