Uhhh...and that little tidbit would fit exactly with this author's claim that Coulter whitewashed McCarthy's shady dealings...especially, as this critic claims, since the defense of the SS officers was aided by a communist agent. It wouldn't fit her thesis if McCarthy was defending socialists, now would it?
Of course, it's not fair that Coulter should write down McCarthy's whole political history. But this seems like one of the highlights of his career....
