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.

Thank you. I am looking forward to that thread. If you think of it. please ping me when you post it.

Interesting that you cite the correlation from the McCarthy Era to that of now. It was also what inspired me today to watch several film clips about McCarthy today.

Just reading the comments I’ve learned much more than I expected.

Once again, thanks for sharing your research.

I have had McCarthy as one of my heroes on my FreepPage for going on two decades now.

Excellent. I remember I was shocked when Coulter stood up for McCarthy. I had never heard anyone do that before. So l did a little digging and it took some doing but the closer l looked the more I realized he was absolutely right. His real sin was calling out the commies in Hollywood who had just started the lacing the propaganda into movies, which has only gotten worse and worse over the years. It was Hollywood and the leftists in the news rooms who made McCarthy the villain.

Perfect!
Outstanding!

I am forwarding a copy of your post to all my grandchildren, as well as my great-grandchildren-old-enough-to-understand...

All of the grandchildren are, already, well-armed McCarthyites...
