THIS BOOK IS NOT A BIOGRAPHY ABOUT JOE McCARTHY !

Now, if it were, yes, I think that omitting such information would have been shoddy, misleading ( at the very least ), and beneath contempt.

Since Ann Coulter's book is about something else entirely, would you care to explain to me why it is neccessary to include that ? If Ann wrote a book entitled " KKK TERRORISM " , should she include what loving, caring, kind husbands, the Klansmen were ? Or, should she solely focous on what acts of terror they committed ? If you don't care for thsi analogy, supply one of your own.

Ann Coulter wrote about Joe McCarthy. Joe McCarthy defended the SS, in a particular incident in which they had killed Americans.

If I wrote a story about Catholic priests who had coached successful football teams, but three out of four had abused young boys, do you think I should leave that latter fact out, because the story is about football?

Bingo, The book is about Liberals siding with our enemies and their neglect of our National Security. The McCarthy defense is not an endorsement of McCarthy as it was an indictment of Liberalism and how McCarthy was correct about the Soviet spies that infiltrated the democratic party.

This is criticism of her book for leaving out a flaw in McCarty's character is kinda cherry picking an omission of details bout McCarthy than it is on the point of the book
