I believe McCarthy was mostly correct. Communists were infiltrating the State Department, Universities, Hollywood, and the media ...
Yep, and the communists are still here but their influence is much greater now and well embedded in our young Americans.
Firt, Palin is a private citizen.
Second, MCarthy was indeed about 98% correct, that info has been public since 1995 when the Verona cables were released.
Nobody other than Coulter & M Stanton Evans will talk about it tho.
McCarthy also was only interested in Soviet operatives in GOVERNMENT, not stupid hollywood morons. That was the HOUSE Un American Activities committee. McCarthy was a senator.
I am up to here with the lies about McCarthy who was a great patriot who drank himself to death after being Palinized by libtards.
Yes, McCarthy was correct.
History has proven Joe McCarthy was RIGHT in his claims, but for generations of American students, the name Joe McCarthy and not Joe Stalin has been synonymous with evil.
He DARED to speak truth to power, and when he let his ego outrun his ability, they crucified him.
The infiltration starting in the FDR administration and continued apace afterwards. FDR was confronted with a list of names of Soviet spies and he just laughed at the FBI and told them to go away.
Some interesting names on the list including the father of Harold Ickes Jr. who was FDR’s advisor at Yalta. The Venona papers uncovered that link, but it wasn’t the only one.
Hey Richard Cohen, which "facts" did Senator McCarthy display that were askew? As I recall from the history of this era, all Tailgunner Joe did was question why card carrying communists, already outed as employees of the Federal Government, were still employed by Uncle Sam.
