And the ugliest part of their lie? That the conservatives (McCarthy and similar-minded elected officials), who were in the forefront of combatting Communism, were secretly allied with the Communists, and doing all the things the Democrats and Progressives themselves were doing.

Does anybody remember the Progressives? Members of the Roosevelt wing of the Republican party, in the 1920's they were co-opted by Robert LaFollette in Wisconsin. Lafollette was a flaming socialist, and was behind things like the "progressive" income tax, in which the higher your income, the greater the percentage tax collected. This was straight out of Karl Marx' "Communist Manifesto", as well as death taxes, nationalization of heavy industry, and central control of agricultural production.

Robert LaFollette is hero worshipped in this State, while tail gunner Joe is demonized. (Says a lot about our politiscs in Wisconsin.)

My parents always felt Joe McCarthy was on the right track, but the left wouldn't admit to it. They still don't despite the new evidence.

When the report came out about Joe MaCarthy came out a few months back the media is this State said nothing. Completely ignored it.

Just got Coulter's new book yesterday. It's a gem, and should be required reading for everyone in this State!
