Don't blame McCarthy, it was Edward R. Morrow, a communist sympathizer, and a whole enterprise of fellow-travellers which did the smear. He was actually blameless and fully justified in almost every case. Under what circumstances with national security on the line is it EVER proper to refuse to cooperate and testify to a legitimate question, particularly when the offer of closed hearings is available? I can't think of any. Do you always believe democRAT and CP-USSR spin?

Orwellian isn't it? Traitors are seen by the left as people of principle defending the constitution. It it chilling to read the transcripts and see the contempt and arrogance the Soviet agents and supporters showed to congress.

Has anyone one left ever expressed concern about the actions of the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) between 1934 and 1937? That is when a Soviet agent ran the committee and went after German Americans.
