I came around to Witness by way of Ann Coulter, oddly enough. It was her book “Treason” that made me curious about Joseph McCarthy and “McCarthyism”. The more I learned on my own, and the less I leaned on what I had been taught in school and told by the media, the more angry I became I came to understand that Joseph McCarthy was an American hero. He was slandered and defamed by the same type of people who practice the same types of tactics on their enemies today. I was one of those people who unthinkingly believed about McCarthy what my teachers taught me in school, and what I saw in the newpapers, magazines and on television.

Same here, but being younger, all I recalled about McCarthy was some of the media couldn't stop replaying on TV. FDR was considered a war hero of sorts and what Ann said got to my attention quickly. Chambers stood at FDR's desk and told him Hiss wan an agent and FDR told him to "go" perform a sexual act upon himself anatomically nearly impossible.

I detest FDR. That SOB did more damage to this country than nearly any other president, and going against Wilson, Teddy Roosevelt, Johnson, Carter, Clinton and Obama, that is saying a lot.

One only has to look at his “Second Bill of Rights” he proposed in 1944 to know exactly what his end game was. It was a liberal utopia.

Heh, I know the conversation you were referring to, but it wasn’t Chambers, though...it was Adolph Berle
