TBP:
With respect to Drew Pearson, McCarthy made 7 speeches about McCarthy from the libel-proof Senate floor. On 12/15/50, McCarthy described Pearson as the “diabolically” clever
“voice of international communism,” and a “prostitute of journalism,” and a “Moscow-directed character assassin.”
Let’s substitute YOUR name for Pearson’s name.
If someone attacked and described you as “a voice of international communism” and a “Moscow-directed character assassin”, would you STILL believe that your critic “never claimed” that you were “in any way supporting Communism” OR would you instruct your lawyer to commence a libel lawsuit?
I made a typo in that last message. It should be: “McCarthy made 7 speeches about PEARSON...”
