Ann Coulter is not admired by many Freepers, but she awhile back she said something that made her a hero of mine: Coulter said that Macarthy and the House Committee on Un-American Activities were RIGHT - there were communists in the US government, and they really wanted to sell out their country.
Of course he was right.
He also near the end was a little paranoid and thought anyone against him was a communist.
Which is why it should have been a much bigger organization with more people and prevent one guy going off the deep end and thereby negating any of the good that was done finding actual communists.
