Ann knew when she wrote her book that mice like Rabinowitz would skitter out of the woodwork to defend the liberal newsroom "conventional wisdom" about McCarthy that they have been nurturing for nearly 50 years. The scumbag liberals have put a lot of time into their effort and they are not about to let some brave soul come along and correct the record.

McCarthy was RIGHT, and scumbags like Rabinowitz don't like it. Every time new evidence emerges that proves McCarthy was right (yet again!) about one of his charges, the liberals go back into smear mode. Former Democrat McCarthy and his young original counsel, Robert F. Kennedy, went into their investigation with their eyes wide open. The foul stench of communist infiltration was in the air and they smelled it.

Rabinowitz does get one thing right: The time was indeed ripe for McCarthy. At the height of the "cold war" there were indeed numerous Soviet infiltrators and spies imbedded in the highest offices of our government and at the Pentagon. Thank God SOMEBODY had the guts to go after them and clean things up.

The rest of your post is readable. This had no place in it, and a responsible poster like you ought to know better.

Ann Coulter can only dream about being a journalist the calibre of Dorothy Rabinowitz.

I get the feeling that lots of folks on this thread haven't read Dorothy. You really ought to.

My Grandfather's cousin was a fella named Clinton Hester and he worked in the Roosevelt and Truman Administrations. He died in the late 60's defending McCarthy to his last breath...
