Coulter did not do any “research”. She is a polemicist, not a scholar. She uses inflammatory language to generate income, not to provide fact-based insights into any subject under scrutiny.
If you search for ANY scholar who cites Coulter as any sort of expert on the McCarthy period, you will engage in a futile exercise because she has absolutely no record of scholarship -— no peer-reviewed articles, no new research into primary sources, no interviews, no FOIA requests, NOTHING.
The article says “...shattering revision of half a century of lies about Joseph McCarthy and “McCarthyism”...”
The point is, M. Stanton Evans didn’t just discover this truth. Somehow, Coulter already sold 396,600 hardcover copies on the topic.
I’m sure her’s is not as scholarly, LOL.
