McCarthy's witch hunt. McCarthy was a disgusting statist. We all agree that Nazism is wrong as well, but what if they started a witch hunt of Republicans and libertarians because they lean right?

Anyone who fears government should look at that debacle and repudiate it. "UnAmerican" activities. You really want the prevailing party at any time to define what "UnAmerican" is? Don't be surprised when the knock on your own door comes.

You equate NAZIism and Communism with the GOP? Fascinating. An enemy of the state is one who seeks to overturn the Constitution. Enemies of the state actually exist.

Ask some Eastern Europeans if Stalin's minions or the Sudeten Germans were threats to the state or just another political party.

No such thing happened. What did happen is that the military was full of communists and McCarthy rooted them out. He was right about over 90% of them.

What are you talking about? What do you mean UnAmerican activities? Did McCarthy accuse people of UnAmerican activities?
