McCarthy WAS right about SO much. The left hates him to this day, because he WAS right. Dems/Liberals never admit to being wrong.
Nixon's anti-Commie crusading ( Hiss and Hellen G. Brown ) are but two major reasons ! ) just drove Dems/Liberals nuts and why they so villfied him and still attempt to.
Ok, I'm now inspired to look up stuff about McCarthy. Get ready for some links! :)
