It’s the KGB who said, in their own internal documents, that McCarthy was a boon to their operations. It doesn’t get much more damning than that.

A common KGB practice. Spread disinformation which states the exact opposite.

The fact is, McCarthy was 100 percent correct about the Communist infiltration of the United States Government.

You come along as a n00b poster, trying to discredit that.

You're as transparent as freshly Windexed glass, TROLL.

GTF outta here.

You’re right. Soviet disinformation was very common in the US during the Cold War, and even made its way into pop culture (e.g., that whole story about J. Edgar Hoover being a cross-dresser was Soviet disinformation). In this case, however, the source of the glowing assessment of McCarthy is internal KGB memos, etc.; i.e., not disinformation.
