Good comments.

It rankles me when conservatives accept Leftist mythology as fact.

The mythology of “McCarthyism” (and the lesser known, but equally important Nixon HUAC invesigations-the real reason for the get-even circus of Watergate), is a liberal foundational pillar. Too many on the Right do not vociferously contest the Left’s rewriting of history.

...HUAC invesigations...

Actually, the committee was called "The House Committee on Un-American Activities". It was the Left who changed it to the "House Un-American Activities Committee" (HUAC) in an attempt to imply that the committee's activities were UA.

You are so right, it is sad to see a true patriot such as Senator McCarthy be victimized by the Liberal onslaught of what they call facts. After doing my own research in this I would assume,IMO, that this is the time when the Newspapers and T.V. news hopped in the same bed as the Liberal Loonies, if you will. Because looking back at history and seeing the headlines of the NYT, before McCarthy was raked across the coals, you would of seen the front page with ticker tape parades of our troops coming home, you saw women working to fill in the gaps that the men left. You just read stories about how great America was back then. I could be wrong on my assumption, but the bottom line is McCarthy saved us and the liberals were pissed that they were getting “called out” and used the media to damage a true patriot.

I have to say, before I was educated, I thought the same thing as everyone else did. What changed my mind was an article written about him a few years back from Ann Coulter. It opened my eyes, made me think, and I just started to question all the sources I was getting my news from. I thank God for this because I don't know where I would be right now if that didn't happen. Probably some zombie leftist wanting a handout.
