No, actually you are wrong. With the opening of some of the Russian files, multiple books have pointed out that Mccarthy was right nearly 100% of the time. But then why let reality change our most cherished myths?

I just started reading a history of the phenomenon we call McCarthyism. It goes to great length in the forward to point out that very few of the people targetted were innocent. I look forward to working through the material it presents.

Joe McCarthy was destroyed, not because he was wrong, but because he was right.
