An excellent read on “McCarthyism” is “McCarthy and His Enemies” by William Buckley and Brent Bozell (no longer in print). McCarthy proved there was essentially no screening of State Department employees as they were being hired, which was the true scandal. He did accuse perhaps three people of having links to communism without having adequate evidence, which has been used since as a diversion by communists and communist sympathizers. McCarthy was vindicated over time as those with links to communism were slowly exposed and rooted out. This book makes it very clear the Democrats were more concerned about their re-electability than protecting our country. The Democrats today are far worse.
Agree! They are far worse.
Its really ironic how they have perfected the tactics they warned America about. Yet the left remains braindead to that fact.
Thanks for the recommendation. McCarthy was before my time but I wish he were here today fighting for America.
