OH i didnt have problem with Trumans service in WW1, my grandfather was in WW1, I know about the smearing of McCarthy by the media of the time. McCarthy was right about all the infiltration of the goverment.
He sure was. It is interesting to note the tactics used by the Left against both Whittaker Chambers and Joseph McCarthy are still used to this day, with little variation.
Of course, they have different force multipliers now like FaceBook, Google, and Twitter that they leverage.
But the playbook on the Left is largely the same as it was back in the late Forties and early Fifties.
