I would consider it a badge of honor. He may have been a little rough in his own life but he was right on the money as far as subversives in this country. Another reason to take him down.
He related to me about being introduced to an older Jewish woman that exclaimed: "Oh! You should do something about that name!"
Told my dad it was a very good thing I was nowhere around then.
Ann Coulter wrote a book a few years ago defending McCarthy.
One thing about McCarthy, history has shown that he was right on the money about Hollyweird.
Rather than make alterations, however, I would simply note that several of the people whom I say are unidentified have been identified – including the two atomic spies, Quantum and Fogel.

anyone know who Quantum and Fogel happen to be or where harvey khehr makes this public?
There is a much more important name missing from the article, and he has pretty much been scrubbed from the books and demonized James Angleton
Good grief—talk about faint praise. I’ll take Stanton Evans, thanks.
Read the entire article. Thanks for posting. Really helped my understanding of the USSR/CPUSA/FDR-Truman/HUAC/Venona Files. Haven’t read Stanton’s book, but I respect the man. The author pretty well dismisses Coulter’s book on McCarthy as non-serious research. The posted comments at the end of the article rival, and perhaps exceeds, the knowledgable content of many serious Freepers.
If you are interested in McCarthy or the McCarthy era, you should read Whittaker Chambers’ book, Witness.
In defense of Joe McCarthy...
