Bump. And it was a position that was 100% vindicated by the release of the Venona materials, which documented and nailed to the floor the truth of McCarthy's allegations about the "253 names" -- except that McCarthy was short a few dozen.
As documented by Ann Coulter in Treason, the people accused by McCarthy were in fact Soviet informants and agents and couriers, including the liberal newspapermen's favorite "poor honest colored lady", a DC resident who was purloining classified message traffic and giving it to the KGB. I'd like to have a dollar for every time "Tail Gunner Joe" was accused by the Usual Suspects of racism in that case; I could probably buy a new car.
