Tailgunner Joe--Where Have You Gone, Joe McCarthy?

[backhoe]

Senator Joseph McCarthy rose from obsurity, flared briefly as a crusader against Communist infiltrators, and died young, villified and rebuked.

For years his name has been the ultimate "nuke" from the Left: "MaCarthyism..."

And yet... recent revelations seem to show that if anything old "tailgunner Joe" underestimated the numbers infiltrators in the government... what's the truth?

Ann Coulter's Defense of McCarthy Appalls ABC's Diane Sawyer
MRC ^ | Wednesday June 25, 2003 | Brent Baker
"On another thread today, there was a report of Ann appearing on ABC's "The View," and one of the obnoxous bitties on that show asked Ann if she'd ever seen two women having sex. Ann shot back, "Not since Katie interviewed Hillary."

Liberals malign the flag, ban the Pledge, and hold cocktail parties for America's enemies, but no one is ever allowed to cast the slightest aspersion on their patriotism-from TREASON by Ann Coulter

ANN COULTER NEW BOOK TREASON BUMP FOR JOE MACARTHY!!!

......

......

[backhoe]

Hi, Race- she is a pretty woman, isn't she?

[RaceBannon]

I honestly think those pics I took in Rhode Island are some of the best of her, looks wise

especially the profile shots, wish they were clearer, though

[CGVet58]

hey Race, thank you for the excellent post/thread.

I've just issued myself a Standing Order of the Day:

bump, keep, read, print multiple copies...

then proceed to shove aforementioned copies down every Liberal-Commie's THROAT!!!!

[headsonpikes]

Bumping those linked threads!!!

The Left is without shame.

[Stultis]

Excellent links, but you missed one of the best ones. This article, originally published in The New American in 1987, goes through most of the leftist lies about McCarthy point-by-point (in a Q&A format) and in considerable detail:

The Real McCarthy Record (Warning...Lengthy Article) (FR Thread)

The Real McCarthy Record (Source at The New American)

Thanks for looking... and appreciate the links.

Another source of vindication for McCarthy:

Venona Project Homepage, NSA (Decrypted Soviet Cables, Coulter source for Treason book)

[backhoe]

Good one- I'll use it.

[Stultis]

Then there is the whole issue of the closed (executive) sessions of the Senate "Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations" from 1953, transcripts of which were first released to the public just this year. This committee and it's hearings were McCarthy's primary vehicle, and these transcripts were also an important source for Ann's book (I believe, though I haven't read it yet).

Ann's book is very timely because the left, and their zombies in the media, WITH THE WILLFUL COLLUSION OF THE SENATE HISTORIAN WHO EDITED THE DOCUMENTS, have consistently spun this largely exculpatory material in a (heretofore) largely successful effort to keep the lieberal "McCarthyism" myth alive. Here is an excellent article on this from Human Events which specifically nails Senate historian Donald Ritchie:

Appreciate those links- a family emergency ( my 84 year old Mother in law is having dizzy spells ) pulled me off the board around 5 PM yesterday & I'm just checking in.

Heavyweight champion Gene Tunney took on the American Youth Congress (a communist front) in this 1940 editorial in "Liberty" Magazine.

Btw..the AYC was a favorite of Eleanor Roosevelt.

Thanks for the link...

Human beings brought up in the countries of our Western civilization, no matter how commonplace or simple their lives may be, cannot conceive of the actual conditions in Soviet Russia. They cannot imagine the wretchedness of the lives of the people--everybody except the commissars and their favorites.
