McCarthy was right.
McCarthy was right about many of the infiltrated offices of the Truman administration. Liberals also tag McCarthy with the HUAC of which McCarthy was a Senator, not a Congressman. But, facts and history are not to get in the way of the liberals and Democrats' narrative. Nevermind that the government was wiretapping the Russian communication lines and knew who the traitors were and wasn't revealed until the late 1990's.
“McCarthy was right”
30 some odd years ago when I was in college on my first attempt we had a debate regarding McCarthyism and as a summation my stance was that it was the right message but perhaps it was the wrong messenger, in that McCarthy’s reasoning was completely overshadowed by his raging alcoholism and communists (leftists) played that one all the way to the end which was ruined McCarthy.
Right after class the professor asked to see me in private and he basically asked me what the heck was I trying to prove, and I told him quite frankly “just wait and see time will tell.” And guess what? I was right.
If there’s ever going to be another message like a McCarthy message In This Modern and complex society that we live it has to be beyond a shadow of a doubt that the messenger is a above the mud slinging.
