"Though McCarthy is sniffed at even by conservatives for his flamboyant rhetoric, in 'Witness', Chambers explains the importance of a fellow such as McCarthy. Referring to the Hiss hearings, Chambers writes that theatrics were 'almost the only weapon the commitee possessed.' Without a 'flair for showmanship,' the committee's extremely important work exposing the Communist conspiracy would have been smothered in silence and reduced to nullity."

Ann is being intellectually dishonest here, and selective with her Chambers' quotes. Chambers spoke out against McCarthy for tainting the anti-communist movement.

Why don't you write a book about how Chambers opposed McCarthy then? That isn't the topic of her book. Her book is about Democrats who favored enemies of America. Coulter spends about 35 out of 292 pages on Chambers. I am sure there is a lot she didn't say.

I disagree. The point of the quote is to explain why Joe used whatever theatrics he did, not what Chambers thought of Joe. We are all waiting to have some examples provided by someone of Joe's "theatrics", but so far, we are still waiting.
