Actually, no it wouldn’t. You know better than that.
No surprise in your reply. As previously stated, you are totally clueless and in denial about this entire period in our history. You are nothing more than a propagandist and like all propagandists you totally ignore all data which contradicts what you prefer to believe. Consequently, you have created a self-sealing circular argument which is impervious to FACTS.
As everyone reading this exchange can now see, you have no ability to QUOTE any reputable source (even including defenders and friends of McCarthy) who agree with your brain-dead premises and conclusions.
You even reject the explicit statements made by McCarthy where he describes his personal antipathy toward Acheson, Marshall, et al — and where he leaves no doubt whatsoever that he is discussing their MOTIVES and INTENTIONS — not “policy differences”.
This is why intellectually honest people cannot “discuss” or “debate” anything with people like you.
Even recent defenders of McCarthy (such as Arthur Herman and Medford Stanton Evans) who have spent many years carefully investigating primary source documentation (which is totally foreign to you!) — DO NOT agree with your statements!
