Retired Air Force Gen. Merrill "Tony" McPeak's recent comparison between Sen. Joseph McCarthy and former President Bill Clinton is factually wrong and politically misleading ("Obama aide compares Clinton to McCarthy," Page A7, Saturday).
Mr. McCarthy was a Marine Corps officer who served his country faithfully and patriotically. As a senator, he staunchly defended the United States against communism.
Records revealed after the end of the Cold War indicate he was correct. Mr. McCarthy was vehemently attacked by the left wing in this country, primarily by Democrats, who continue to attack him.
Mr. Clinton was a draft dodger who signed an executive order authorizing the sale of nuclear secrets to communist China. An impeached president, he risked America's national security for campaign contributions. He was embraced by the left wing, primarily Democrats.
To compare the two is a travesty. Gen. McPeak owes the United States and the memory of Mr. McCarthy an apology.

Short, succinct and to the point.
Furthermore, I believe Senator McCarthy actually smoked his cigars.
Closest they get is calling Willie “Tail Hunter Joe”.
Right. Joe McCarthy was an American Hero. Bill Clinton is an anti-American Zero.
Isn’t it true that Clinton is short and suck sink?
Bill Clinton will be remembered as the president that made 12 year old girls wonder what Oral Sex is.
Couldn’t agree more. Bill Clinton couldn’t hold Tailgunner Joe’s jockstrap.
My thoughts exactly!
But he would want to.
Joe McCarthy exposed communists. Bill Clinton exposed Little Bill.
Yeah. But ‘Little Bill’ is a communist by association [with Bigger Bill and Mrs. Bill].
I am not voting for Hillary, but I think that Bill Clinton said nothing wrong. We really do need two people that really do love the USA, so I stand by him here.
Bill and Hillary Clinton only love themselves and any “vehicle” they can use to further that self serving love of selves. They don’t love America. They love what it can provide them. Ask the Chinese.
It's scary that there are Generals like McPeak leading our troops.......someone give him a copy of "Blacklisted" by Evans.....
Me too, but the demonRATs will never have a Republican as their nominee.
BJ Clinton
