I've heard liberals mention McCarthy and heroin. Never found the source. There was a rumor he was homosexual too. That became a national story after an article by Hank Greenspun in the Las Vegas Sun on October 25th, 1952. Greenspun was as mobbed up as were most in Vegas at the time.

What we do know now, is that from 1920 when Lenin gave John Reed over a million bucks in plunder from the Tsars to fence in NYC until the end of the USSR, there was a massive, well financed campaign to subvert our government.

McCarthy got in the way of those doing it. And he died at an suspiciously early age.

I read the homosexual rumor but not the heroin.The fact that he was right about communism got lost in the attacks about him...which worked very well..didn't it!Monica stalked Clinton,too,uh huh.McCarthy didn't have a blue dress to challenge all the gossip.He did get a censure.He was reckless with his words.It was hardly something to sink a career.

Well, I knew he was an alcoholic. Smoked like a chimney, which would and could account for an early death, but he was vindicated in all of his assertions and more importantly the JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY has been vindicated. They have been vilified more than any other conservative, political organization on the face of the planet.

The measure of your stature is taken by the ferocity of your opponent. Given the way JBS has been targeted by the liberals for utter destruction is in itself a form of vindication. THIS is the reason why they insisted on having the US SENATE investigate them shortly after their formation in the 1950's in anticipation of such attacks in the future. Of course, they were correct.
