Joe McCarthy warned us decades ago.

The media and Hollywood have NEVER stopped smearing this guy...even though his allegations focused on Communists and Communist sympathizers well known at the time:

• Didn’t Truman have Communist sympathizers close to his administration?

• Wasn’t Hiss exposed?

• Didn’t Acheson continue to support Hiss?

• Wasn’t a DOJ employee selling defense secrets?

There were lots of questionable people and activities he wanted to expose.

McCarthy may have been disagreeable, personally, but his message was direct. He wanted to open a hole and drive a truck through it. Truman was being un cooperative and turned it into a partisan issue. Liberals have been doing the same ever since.
