What they keep stumbling over is all the hoopla surrounding Sen Joe McCarthy and the House Unamerican Activities Committee.

I listened to O'Reilly throw that at Coulter about 2 weeks ago. She cleaned Bill's clock and hit it out of the park.

She stated simply: McCarthy was a SENATOR, Bill. It's not POSSIBLE that he controlled the HOUSE Unamerican activities committee.

Bill O looked like someone had just slapped him in the face....and then he mumbled...well, I don't want to get into arguing history with you.

Damn straight he didn't want to. I think it had just then occurred to him how obvious the slime against McCarthy had always been -- right in front of his nose -- and he hadn't caught it.

Senators aren't in charge of House committees today, nor yesterday, nor in the 50's.

Clearly, the left wants to reduce Ann Coulter's image to that of a shrill, right-wing bimbo. But she has too many facts on her side, and she's articulate as well as sharp-tongued. She clearly knows what she's talking about. And it's about time that someone analyzed Joe McCarthy from an even-handed point of view, rather than as someone who existed solely to be bashed. While McCarthy made his share of mistakes (fueled by alcoholism), he was correct in his point that there was a communist threat in the country.
