If I may inquire, exactly 'which' McCarthy Inquisition are you referring to?
The Army-McCarthy Hearings - Where he was the DEFENDANT.
Or the HUAC (House Un-american Activities Committee) hearings? Which as we know, Joe had nothing to do with as he was a Senator.
No those can't be it, so you must be referring to the hearings where it was proved that Communist agents, aka KGB Spies, HAD infiltrated the State Department, the White House staff and other departments of the government. Yep, it must be that 'Inquisition'.
And just 'for the record' Senator McCarthy never 'ruined' one innocent persons life and/or reputation. Every person called to testify and who refused to answer questions WAS a member of the CPUSA, or more plainly, a COMMUNIST.
FYI, Last year the records from the McCarthy Hearings where declassified and are linked for reading on the U.S. Senate web-site. If you read them, you'll find that the most egregious 'questioning' was done by democrats on the committee, not 'evil' Joe. In addition, also declassified last year are the records of the Venona Project - which proves beyond any doubt that McCarthy was right. Those also show why FDR was not 'in the loop' on the Manhattan Project - in short, he couldn't be trusted.
BTW, I don't mean to offend, but the LIBERAL COMMUNIST LIE that McCarthy ruined innocent lives, was as evil as Hitler and ate puppies for breakfast must be put to bed and the record set straight.
You by no means offend anyone around here. Thank you very much for your post.
It is exactly the LIBERAL COMMUNIST LIE factor that is operative as we speak at the core of these 9/11 hearings.
How do we know this?
