The Forgotten 500
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.

- incredible book. I was amazed at how much of the common understanding of McCarthy was complete BS.
I never doubted old Joe. Not the VP!
Blacklisted by History and Witness are two of my favorite books.

The Untold Story Of Senator Joe McCarthy
And His Fight Against America's Enemies
M. Stanton Evans.
Crown Forum Press 2007.
I have the book to hand and it was recommended by Freepers. The documentation is incredible. The official documents obtained by freedom of information or other sources absolutely exonerates Senator Joe.
It is to my regret that the left are often rotten to the core. They simply do not have the common decency to concede that which McCarthy exposed. It would spoil their act to do so. Sure, they could go ahead and attack McCarthy for his abrasive manner and maybe a little antagonistic. The exposure after many years of the left wing icon Hiss, and indeed Morton Sobell, tells the story. Sobell was in the US Army Intelligence and in his nineties, conceded he fed information to the Soviets.
The actions of the gallant KGB officer who defected and gave America the Venona Files, does not seem to get much press- how very convenient. The left has a knack of simply ignoring the rotters within. Anyway, excuse the rant. Joe McCarthy was an American patriot and a martyr. Imho.
john Kennedy knew about the evil of Communism
Witness by Whittaker Chambers is a great book. In it he explains that in any town, on any day, on any street, the ugly Communist machine can “disappear” anyone they want. You will be put in a car and no one will ever hear from you again.
