Joe McCarthy was a great man but was targeted by the commies from the get-go. Surprisingly to many, he was the Godfather of Robert Kennedy’s daughter Kathleen Kennedy (Townsend). Robert and John were friends and admirers of Joe...that was back when even some democrats disliked communists.
I believe that this was covered in great detail by Ann Coulter
That is one thing William F. Buckley should be praised for. He defended McCarthy when very few would.
Once her days as an active terrorist were over, Bernardine Dohrn was employed by prestigious law firm Sidley & Austin from 1984 to 1988. Dohrn had been hired by Howard Trienens, the head of the firm and an associate of Thomas G. Ayers, Bill Ayers’ father. It is unclear whether Obama knew the former fugitive Dohrn through Sidley & Austin but there is no doubt that, by the time Obama joined Sidley & Austin as a summer associate, Obama had known Bill Ayers for two years through their involvement in Alliance for Better Chicago Schools.
But 0bama isn't a Marxist. /s
Joe “Tailgunner Joe” McCarthy was a proven liar claiming to have been a combat veteran, making it an early case of stolen honor. Lyndon Baines Johnson later regreted accepting the award of a decoration that was not actually earned in WWII. Yet, Joe McCarthy was regarded by Robert kennedy as a good friend, and Kennedy attended McCarthy’s funeral.
It has been speculated due to these and a number of other factors that Joe McCarthy may have served as an agent provocateur specifically to create a public backlash against investigations against Communists and thereby shield against further actions being taken against Communists. If so, the ploy was highly successful to the point where no inquiries against Communism and its conspiracies to overthrow Constitutional government are allowed.
Boy we really need Joe McCathy now more than ever!
Too bad we don’t have a Joe McCarthy today !
Evans’ Law of Inadequate Paranoia: “No matter how bad you think something is,” he says, “when you look into it, it’s always worse.”
I’ll have to remember that!
The McClure Hotel in Wheeling, WV, where McCarthy first gained national fame in 1950 by delivering a speech on Soviet penetration of the State Department, is still there. However, a modern building has replaced the one in which McCarthy spoke.
Hollywood was in fear of him. Back then most of Hollywood leaned towards Socialism/Communism. Too bad he really did not dig them out completely.
After Mccarthy, the word “Communist” became taboo. It was never mentioned again. The communists loved that, cuz it let them go underground, call themselves progressives or democrats, and go on trying to turn the USA into a communist paradise.
Yes!!!
McCarthy wasn’t wrong - he was just early.
???
Of course he was. ...Why else would the Demcorats demonize him for the past 50 years?
Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin BTTT!
He was a saint in my house.
“After all, he conducted those long ago “Communist witch hunts,” ruining his name in perpetuity.”
He did not ruin his name in perpetuity in my eyes. I have always held him and his name in very high esteem.
Watched the hearings on TV, he was always 100% right!
