MCCARTHYISM: THE ROSETTA STONE OF LIBERAL LIESContinued at www.AnnCoulter.com
November 7, 2007
When I wrote a ferocious defense of Sen. Joe McCarthy in "Treason: Liberal Treachery From the Cold War to the War on Terrorism," liberals chose not to argue with me. Instead they posted a scrolling series of reasons not to read my book, such as that I wear short skirts, date boys, and that "Treason" was not a scholarly tome.
After printing rabidly venomous accounts of McCarthy for half a century based on zero research, liberals would only accept research presenting an alternative view of McCarthy that included, as the Los Angeles Times put it, at least the "pretense of scholarly throat-clearing and objectivity."
This week, they got it. The great M. Stanton Evans has finally released "Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America's Enemies." Based on a lifetime's work, including nearly a decade of thoroughgoing research, stores of original research and never-before-seen government files, this 672-page book ends the argument on Joe McCarthy. Look for it hidden behind stacks of Bill Clinton's latest self-serving book at a bookstore near you.
Evans' book is such a tour de force that liberals are already preparing a "yesterday's news" defense -- as if they had long ago admitted the truth about McCarthy. Yes, and they fought shoulder to shoulder with Ronald Reagan to bring down the Evil Empire. Thus, Publishers Weekly preposterously claims that "the history Evans relates is already largely known, if not fully accepted." Somebody better tell George Clooney.
The McCarthy period is the Rosetta stone of all liberal lies. It is the textbook on how they rewrite history -- the sound chamber of liberal denunciations, their phony victimhood as they demean and oppress their enemies, their false imputation of dishonesty to their opponents, their legalization of every policy dispute, their ability to engage in lock-step shouting campaigns, and the black motives concealed by their endless cacophony.
The true story of Joe McCarthy, told in meticulous, irrefutable detail in "Blacklisted by History," is that from 1938 to 1946, the Democratic Party acquiesced in a monstrous conspiracy being run through the State Department, the military establishment, and even the White House to advance the Soviet cause within the U.S. government.
In the face of the Democrats' absolute refusal to admit to their fecklessness, fatuity and recklessness in allowing known Soviet spies to penetrate the deepest levels of government, McCarthy demanded an accounting.
Even if one concedes to on-the-one-hand-on-the-other-hand whiners like Ronald Radosh that Truman's Secretary of State Dean Acheson didn't like communism, his record is what it was. And that record was to treat Soviet spies like members of the Hasty Pudding Club.
Rather than own up to their moral blindness to Soviet espionage, Democrats fired up the liberal slander machine, which would be deployed again and again over the next half century to the present day. In hiding their own perfidy, liberals were guilty of every sin they lyingly imputed to McCarthy. There were no "McCarthyites" until liberals came along.
"Blacklisted by History" proves that every conventional belief about McCarthy is wrong, including:

A good book, and a good write-up.
Pity no one will ever read them.
Whatever one may think of Ann, you simply cannot fault her for not saying what she thinks and, as she usually does, she hits the nail squarely on it’s head here!

Worse than anything McCarthy could have possibly dreamed of.

Like Clinton even wrote his book...LOL
The Venona intercepts proved beyond doubt that the Roosevelt and Truman administrations had been thoroughly penetrated by communist spies.
Howzit wit yU?
Don't worry! I'll find my copy no matter WHERE they hid it!
(actually, some people would probably like that LOL)
*BUMP*

Please add me!!
Somebody need to tell Ann that the ads are truly annoying.
I won’t be clicking on her site anymore. I’ll get her articles after they show up here for now I suppose.
But I still adore her.
Oh wait, let me get it.

Yea a couple of books ago, I went into one of the chain book stores to buy her best seller and they found "one" copy in the back room.
When Hilliary's book came out, I went to one of the beasts book signings in Marin County and put Coulter's book (which had just come out too with a Hairy Pooter one) on a table with all of Hilliary's propaganda on it!
Didn't last long, the security ( a DykE bigger than me) took it down.
I like the short skirts. Mucho. So there, libs.
