You have been duped by the liberal mediots regarding McCarthy. Nothing you dig up from the internet is going to help you here.

Even if it is the truth? How about you doing some serious research on McCarthy. Watch some video of him and see what kind of man he was. When I was in school, he was on TV and my impression was that he was not someone I would trust. I still believe that but it is based upon more than just an impression.

Could your impression have been in any way affected by those censure hearings where the media broke into vigorous applause every time he was condemned? Do you think there is no way that the media APPLAUDING throughout the entire censure proceeding (read: show trial) might have had any effect on his "peer review"?

By the way, even as broken as he was at the end, McCarthy still had an impressively large and respectful funeral (I lack the exact figures - read Ann's book). His death was mourned by many, even if it only received silence or smears in the mainstream press. That's the kind of peer review I care about, not what the media thought and not what a bunch of senators absolutely terrified by a relentlessly applauding media voted for.

Again, Semper: I DO respect you and your opinions. We have been on the same side of many a discussion supporting each other.

Please, take a look at Ann's book. I, too, have recollections of the hearings. The things that Ann has researched and brought out in her book are far more revealing than the meager information I had before that. He did make some errors, I will concede. And, you may not change your mind about McCarthy, but I guarantee you will be far more educated than you are now about the liberal (socialist) environment he was fighting against. It is possible you might even change your mind.
