That’s just plain dumb. So you think its my job to defend myself just because some clown accuses me of something? You’re confused. It’s the accusers who must prove their charge. Anyone with a brain gets it. But then I have to take into consideration people like you are Perry, Romney or Gingrich bots. Or, you could be simply a demrat lurker.

Ya’ll have gone to the politics of personal destruction well once to often. You remind me of McCarty in the early 50s. His comet came and went in the space of a few months. What shot it down was one brave man who refused to be intimidated. You should read up on history.

"You remind me of McCarty in the early 50s."

It's McCARTHY, ok genius?

His comet came and went in the space of a few months.

Sounds like you're the one who needs to read up on history, McCarthy was a force to be reckoned with, and a consistent foe of Communists in government during both of his terms from 1946, his re-election in '52, until his death in '57.

What shot it down was one brave man who refused to be intimidated.

Oh bullshit. Are you talking about Joseph Nye Welch, or the mouthpiece for CBS, Edward R. Murrow?

You should read up on history.

Physician heal thyself. You can start by reading up on the Venona transcripts, containing Soviet-bloc communications intercepted and decrypted by the United States, which established that Senator Joseph R. McCarthy was 100 PERCENT RIGHT, and his detractors (and you too) are 100 PERCENT WRONG.

Get back to us after you educate yourself on this topic.

With all due respect, I think it is you who need to read up. The release of the transcripts of the decrypted "Venona Papers" should have removed any lingering doubt in any reasonable person's mind that Joe McCarthy was EXACTLY correct is saying the US Government had been infiltrated by communists and Soviet agents up to the highest levels of the government. You might start with "Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America" which, although showing there was no proof of the treachery of certain persons on McCarthy's various "lists", supports his basic assertion of communist infiltration of the US government.

And, of course, it must be borne in mind that the Venona messages that have been decrypted represent a small fraction of Soviet cable traffic and it is mainly through the mistake of certain Soviet cryptographers in reusing pages of one-time pads that any cables could be decrypted at all.

Once you finish that one, you might also take a glance at "In Denial: Historians, Communism, and Espionage" (by the same authors) that speaks to the liberal revisionist history that you, apparently, have swallowed regarding Senator McCarthy.
