McCarthy was mainly right? He was absolutely right. The hysteria was another leftist creation designed to destroy McCarthys credibility.
Our government was fully infested with communists. Tail Gunner Joe had the courage to expose them. For his troubles, he was treated as shabbily as President Trump is today. He died a premature death, having been driven to alcohol abuse.
Libtards love to muddy the waters and mak you believe that Senator McCarthy had something to do with the Hollywood blacklists. Which is nonsensical, since the blacklisting was done by the House.
At least somebody is writing something accurate about the Senator.
All conservatives must read Blacklisted by History, by the late M Stanton Evans for the actual facts about the McCarthy era.
