Senator McCarthy’s name has been vindicated by the Venona cables and the now available senate records.
ALL conservatives should read Blacklisted by History by M Stanton Evans for a detailed and accurate accounting of the McCarthy investigations. Our government was indeed infested with communists.
All of us need to be prepared to vigorously defend Senator McCarthy’s good name from attacks by those ignorant of history. We owe him that much. He gave his life to the cause of defending America, dying at just 43 from alcoholism. The result of relentless torment by the Left.
I have the Venona papers and Blacklisted by History. What the media could tell us if they wanted to.
By the way, we have to find a substitute for the expression “McCarthyism”. We shoot ourselves in the foot when we use that term. The Left puts their words into our mouths and we keep their ideology alive by repeating THEIR words.
Joseph McCarthy was betrayed by Washington. They were b@st@rds even back then.
