No, Alan.
McCarthy only went after actual Soviet agents in the U.S. Government.
After the Soviet collapse the Venona project proved they were who Joe said they were.

You’re a douche, Alan.

Depending on the level & breadth of mathematics education, mathematics can if not careful lead you up the primrose path of everything is linear, predictable & calculable. Where you have little need to pay attention to physical constraints!

I used to totally hate Derh’s guts. These past 5 years or so?

Actually he has been consistent in his views for decades. He has taken unpopular positions and represented unpopular people. Yes, he is a liberal but he believes in our Constitution and has done much to protect it.

Not McCarthyism it’s a massive cover up plan for Hillary FBI CIA skunks at least 10 people the can’t afford to have exposed.
It would end their control of D.C. swamp.
To late the jig is up body count to ensue.

“McCarthyism” as it is commonly known......is the practice of making extreme accusations of subversion or treason without proper regard for evidence.

The motives back then have little or nothing to do with it now.

Alan Dershowitz is having the time of his life!

He's particularly enjoying all his appearances on Fox News! He loves to rub it in to the libtards at CNN and MSNBC.

The trouble with Alan Dershowitz is that he hasn't changed. He remains a Democrat. He seems amazed, no make that shocked and extremely disappointed that his beloved ACLU is absent in his fair-minded pursuit of civil liberties in matters pertaining to President Trump.

Poor Alan Dershowitz, he's yet to either realize or accept, that the ACLU has always been a hard Left organization, with only rare ventures of fairness in matters that did not support the radical Left.

Furthermore, no matter the proof that has come to light through the Venona Papers, Alan Dershowitz will always believe the worst about Joseph McCarthy.

This pedophile compares the current bunch of dirtbags to Senator McCarthy. According to him McCarthy’s efforts were a ruse. The only problem with Sen. McCarthy is that he underestimated the problem. There were far more communists in the government than he realized. Still the smear machine is still cranking out its lies. College professors teach McCarthy led the HUAC. This smear machine that destroyed John Tower and Judge Moore has been ineffective on Trump.
ladyjane, you might want to ask John Demjanjuk’s family about his belief in the Constitution. Steely Tom if you are amazed by these “intelligent people” following liberalism look up the image of the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh driving by his adoring line of doctors, lawyers and college professors.

To keep control Lots of folks have died and will die. Or be trashed like McCarthy was, His memory tarnished until his very name is used as an swear word. They dream of doing this to Trump to a point where he will be cut from the history books and written up as a one term failure. My fear is they will assassinate him in there bid control the nation. When the truth comes out it will be ugly—if it ever does. Many years must pass before the picture of corruption will be seen by the people. Even then, many will refuse to believe it.

One big difference: McCarthy was 95% right. Today’s left is 100% wrong.

imho it’s a real time waster of Dershowitz to pose this question at this time.... I guess he has a lot on his plate , too, with his association to Jeff Epstein.

Refusal to believe it is futile the left is being exposed for the dangerous control of the government they make McCarthy look like a saint.
McCarthy isn’t looking so bad after all now people knows how Hollywood and other left reds operate.
