A sign of American cowardice and cultural rot that they and their detested spawn are here.
Agree that there was nothing wrong with McCarthy and his so-called 'witch hunt'.
The fact is, communists then as now immediately ridicule those who have them spotted and who clearly understand what they are doing.
Conspiracy theorists! Paranoids! Kooks!, etc., etc. It's standard Cold War Soviet tactical rhetoric.
What is amazing is the fact that, to this day, calling someone a McCarthyite is still a term of derision. It is a sign of how effective that particular psyops was and still is.
In the face of overwhelming evidence of thoroughgoing communist infiltration of academia and Hollywood, the majority of people still believe McCarthy dreamt it all up.

McCarthy was spot-on back then. It’s just sad and a tragic symptom of America’s dysfunction that most Americans were not capable of recognizing that truth in that era... and most not even now.
The ultimate irony re: that “blacklisting” thing is... the Hollywood communists have turned it around on us and now blacklist anyone that is ‘not’ on their leftist side of the aisle. If only people could have seen the future back then.
Let’s face facts. The tactics of the Marxist left, including mocking and derision of those that have their number, seem to be working... only too well. Especially now in this time of “social media” influencing and wokeism.
