History has shown Sen. McCarthy to be RIGHT.

History has shown Sen. McCarthy to be RIGHT

True enough. But the media put that down the memory hole.

I went into Appleton to see his grave a couple months ago. The papers will never tell you this, not in a million years, but McCarthy's memory is revered by a great many in this area. These were his friends and relatives in the Fox Valley; they knew the man and weren't fooled by the hype.
