"Not because he was wrong, but because he was a drunk, and he absolutely lied and exaggerated."

That's a bunch of bull. He was not wrong about the Communist threat. The whole of China of literally turned over to the Communist through Communist sympathizers like Marshall and others in the State Dept.

McCarthy only became drunk when they (the Communist sympathetic media smeared him).

This would be the perfect subject for Fox News channel to investigate for an hour special. Somebody fair and balanced should put the truth out about him in chronological order. He really did expose alot of card carrying commies, but it went to his head to stay in the limelight, and he certainly wasn't up to the task. And everything he feared was true. The entertainment industry and academia was packed with them and of course, still is. Now they have a voter base called the DNC and can be elected to congress without even having to explain why they lionize Karl Marx. Some don't even pretend to be Democrats like Sanders from Vermont. They are so prevalent today that they claim the center, and we are relgated to the extreme right just because we don't want to burn the flag.

I didn't say he was. In fact, I specifically said that he was right. But he was still a drunk who lied and exaggerated. He waved a piece of paper around, and said that it was a list of 187 card-carrying communists in the state department. Later it was 210. And he never, ever, produced it.

He only became drunk when he drank. Which he did long before he became a national figure, according to my grandmother, who knew him well.
