First, thanks for the post! GREAT READ!

Its a shame someone so brilliant and knowledgeable somehow believes presenting herself as combination of Britney Spears and Al Sharpton is somehow good for her message. By engaging in that kind of rhetoric she significantly reduces her audience and effectiveness of her message.

Having said that, I enjoyed her insights on McCarthy. I have always assumed Senator McCarthy was a great American. I ought to educate myself even further and read a bit more about him.

Anyone know what would be a good book, besides Coulter’s to learn about REAL McCarthy? Thanks in advance.

"It's a shame (I really hate Coulter does it show already?)... someone so...Britney Spears...Sharpton...etc...reduces...etc...effectiveness...etc...BUT I enjoyed her...I ought to educate myself...

Bingo!

Do that OK?

"Anybody know...besides Coulter's...to learn about the REAL...(Coulter is a girl, I refuse to learn anything from her, I prefer Britney Spears)...McCxxxxx???

LOL, if you haven't found a good book about McEtc yet, you aren't interested.

Comeon, you subtly (not so much) thrash Coulter and expect any intelligent person help you to learn a little history?

By engaging in that kind of rhetoric

We agree of her brilliance and because of it, I believe she has little patience. Have you ever been around a group of people who are truly clueless -and they won't listen to just plain ole common sense? How long can you stay in their presence before your insides gets the best of you and you either have to lash out or you will explode or walk away. Now magnify that to a national level as she witnesses the stupidity/cluelessness of those in power directing our country and she's a constitutional lawyer.

We, also, have been watered down with PC. Truth and PC are enemies, where one lives the other cannot exist. While Ann speaks truth, most say she didn't have to be nasty about it or she could have said it in a round about way - in a more pleasant way - to get her point across. What they want is for her to be PC. While they appreciate the truth, they prefer it to be wrapped in PC to be more palatable. She's not a politician, so we ain't going to get her to act like one. She isn't looking to be liked which is rare these days.

You should buy books on McCarthy that were published after 2001. Books published prior to 2000 would not include the Venona papers and research from the soviet espionage archives, both of which were not available until the late 1990’s. The Venona papers were intercepted intelligence communications between Washington and Moscow during and after WW2. I would recommend Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s Enemies by M. Stanton Evans.

Another book that you might enjoy is Witness by Whittaker Chambers. Chambers was a communist who exposed the cancerous spread of over a million members of the communist party throughout the country. Because of Chambers brilliant mind and love of the U.S., he was able to withstand enormous pressure from the “liberal” democrats to expose the communist cancer to congress and the country. Liberal democrats were in constant denial of the fact that communists had infiltrated the federal government. The communist infiltration extended to a high ranking official(Alger Hiss) serving as President Roosevelt’s right hand at Yalta. By the time Chambers completed testifying, over four hundred communists were found working in the government. Chambers died, soon after, from a heart attack - no doubt brought on by the hell he was subjected to by liberal democrats who fought his every step to expose the communist infiltration in the U.S. government.

Another book you might enjoy reading is Witness by Whittaker Chambers. Chambers writing is a delight and whether you buy his book or not, I recommend reading the forward of the book which is a letter to his children. It’s an unusually moving and painful letter written by a man who realizes that soon he will no longer be with his children. You can google a copy of the letter using “Whittaker Chambers” and “letter to my children”.
