He was one of the first, but, sadly, he won’t be the last.

I'm sure they're more than 57 communists in the State Department today.

Tail-gunner Joe was definatly given a hatchet job.

Wasn’t Joe involved with one of JFK’s sisters, perhaps engaged? I know he did not marry her but I understand he was close to Joseph Kennedy. Also, if I am not mistaken, Eleanor Roosevelt did not support JFK for the nomination because he was “absent” on the day of the censure vote for Senator McCarthy.

How old was the author of this piece when Senator Joseph McCarthy was holding his hearings on UnAmerican Activities?

Senator McCarthy was correct from the word go in those days! Anyone can see by today’s “Democrat” policies, nay today’s “Democrat” Congress, that it has drifted, by plan, so far to the left because Senator McCarthy was not permitted to clean up Washington DC over 50 years ago!

As a matter of fact, the Republican party has also drifted to the left, deserting it’s conservative base over a decade ago.

God rest the soul of Joseph McCarthy.

I’m with you on this. Joseph McCarthy was an American patriot who gave his life for his country.

I’m halfway through it presently, and I’d recommend the book to anyone who has an interest in this.

RJK worked for McCarthy

http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/progjfk2.htm

ties with Bobby were forged when he gave RFK a job as minority counsel to his Senate committee investigating domestic communism. Though RFK would later have an intense falling out with McCarthy's other counsel Roy Cohn, the younger Kennedy brother would maintain a deep loyalty to a man he loved enough to make the godfather of his first child. In 1955, Bobby displayed his residual feelings of loyalty for McCarthy even after the Senator's fall into disgrace at a dinner meeting described by the court historian of Camelot himself, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. y's worked for McCarthy

Joseph McCarthey was Godfather to one of RFK's kids.

The Kennedy's knew a hatchet job when they saw one.

Re Stan’s book. I’ve known Stan Evans for about 37 years and know him to be an very dedicated researcher as well as writer.

I met him several times while he was working on this book, and he kept saying that he was almost finished, but still had to look at 100,000 pages of documents he found at the FBI. That took several years and he kept finding new materials which he wanted to incorporate into the book.

Re the list of 57 communists. It is real and he showed it to me from Archives files. Until I read the book, I cannot comment on its meaning as there are some nuances to it (one of which Jeffrey’s alluded to in his column) which need a historical context.

However, some of the names were those of well known communists and fellow-travelers, and their public records proved it.

For those interested in internal security issues, check out the various articles in the newspapers about the Russians honoring KGB spy George Blake and GRU spy, George Koval (NYT 11/15/07).

I just found a document at the Archives which may, and I emphasize, MAY, help expose another Soviet spy ring from WW2. It has taken almost 40 years to accumulate little bits and pieces about one individual, but once he outted himself as a covert CPUSA member, it all made sense.

The full story of Soviet espionage in the US, using Communist Party USA members as agents for both the NKVD (KGB) and the GRU (Military Intelligence) has NOT BEEN TOLD.

Thank God the Venona papers were released. There could be more such tie-in documents still out there.

And wait till you see the records on members of Congress, including some leading Democrats of today, unless they destroy them. John Conyers’ record would take up a whole book.

It’s gonna be fun exposing these traitors.

Yep, the same old commies as today creamed him. The old timers nailed the infiltration of communist in every walk of life during WWII. They saw it coming...and today is reality...we are full of them throughout America and they call themselves the rodent party. In the end, we win they lose. And it’s goin’ to be one bloody battle.

Hilary Clinton calls herself a "modern American Progressive."

Scary.

Hiding in plain sight, are we now?
