Joseph McCarthy responds to Edward R Murrow
youtube ^ | Joseph McCarthy

Posted on 08/02/2023 3:35:45 PM PDT by patriot torch

More than 70 years ago Joseph McCarthy warned America of the growing threat imposed by radical communism. Because he had the fortitude to sound the alarm, supporters of communism vilified him.

I think it's safe to say that his legacy can now live on having been vindicated.

As Americans, we should never again destroy the character of a courageous patriot.

Also relevant as a topic of hind sight is how America was warned about the intent contained within the communist manifesto.

If you've never before read the 45 goals/planks of communism, I would highly advise reading them and then considering how successful they have carried out their goals here in America.

Looks like they've pretty much accomplished their goals.

Tailgunner Joe.

A hero of the Second World War. Served as a tail gunner in B-52s fighting Nazis.

Comes home from the war and fights communist in the United States Senate.

He survived the Nazis but the commies got him.

One of Joe’s primary sources was former Secretary of Defense James Forrestal.

We “conspiracy theorists” have long claimed he was thrown out of the window at Walter Reed and did not commit suicide.

One of our old former posters (who posted in the 1990s as DC Dave) has written a book on the subject:

I look forward to the day when congressional hearings have testimony from witnesses begin with "Are you now or have you ever been a member pf the Democrat Party?"

"... a tail gunner in B-52..."

Unless my 89.6 year old memory is even worse than I thought, Joe was a TG in B-17s...
The most dangerous position on the aircraft...

McCarthy served on Bougainville Island fighting the Japanese. He flew at least 12 missions as a photographer and a tailgunner on a dive bomber—probably a Douglas Dauntless, the plane that won the Battle of Midway.

I’ve always believed that McCarthy was right on.

Amazing, to see how the toxic nation killing tools in the “news outlets “ have been working hard to destroy our nation for over 70 years and they have pretty much done it without having to fire a single shot.
