McCarthy was wrong. He underestimated the number of Communists in Government.

The lesson still is the person who tells the truth is the one demonized by the media. When the message can't be refuted, attack the person.

Of course, another case in point is Richard Nixon. He defeated Helen Gehagan, and he was instrumental in the Hiss case. The Left never forgot. They hated Nixon for decades and they eventually brought him down. He policies were hardly extreme (price controls??) but the point was that he was an anti-communist. So he was hated.
