Ahhh, the classics...

From M. Stanton Evans:
Herewith a letter sent to The Wall Street Journal a week ago in response to the recent anti-McCarthy article by Ronald Kessler.
By way of explanation for the staccato nature of this letter, I was told that I could have 750-800 words to reply to Kessler (whose article ran to 1,059 words). I overran this by 85 words, but even so it's difficult to answer so many misstatements in such a constricted format.
It's significant, for instance, that Kessler (falsely) invokes the authority of Willard Edwards to support his attack against McCarthy. I point out that Edwards said something very different from this hearsay, but couldn't go into the even more important point that he wrote a very extensive defense of McCarthy—devoted mostly to Fort Monmouth—in Human Events for November 10, 1954.
I have held off on circulating this letter until The Wall Street Journal had ample chance to run it. As of today, a week after the letter was received, it hasn't shown up in the Journal, so I am using this alternative method of conveying its contents....

Ahhh, the classics...
I may have to buy Evans’ book in protest to the anti-truth squads out there.
As a subscriber, I must admit that I am very disappointed the the WSJ would not print her reply.

I’ve noticed that there are just some things that Republicans and their supporters just don’t bother to dare to challenge. One is the leftist dogma that Joe McCarthy was wrong about there being Communists in government. More recent unchallenged leftist dogmas include that there were no WMDs in Iraq, and no connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda. There are other disagreements with leftist dogmas described as “third rails” that dare not even be mentioned, even on FR, for fear of being lebelled extremist. I think the reasoning is that the Republicans actually do understand behavior modification techniques devised by the left well enough to know that they will get nowhere and get no votes challenging the “third rail” dogma items.
Isn’t this a scandal that the WSJ won’t print this letter?
The entire Global warming movement is Utopian, very much similar to the social structure and politics of the "Prohibition Movement," which did little but create millionaires out of liberals such as Joseph Kennedy, the father of President John F. Kennedy and an admirer of the German Totalitarians. Obama is selling Utopia, and the US public buys it and sucks on it. Its really quite Hillerarious. Even Hillery can't fight back with her own Utopia, and has resorted to getting real, abandoning her former Utopian approach.
These Utopians will be the death of us, if we do not call them what they are, dreamers with no other way to impose their nightmares on us, but through totalitarian taxation and totalitarian use of political power. Such is Obama. His actions in Kenya in August of 2006 prove it, as does his religious affiliation with Rev. Jerimiah Wright, a stone cold Utopian racist if ever there was one.
Kessler was apparently so embarrassed by this take-down that he dropped all reference to Lillian Hellman in the WSJ version.
