Your post is just priceless -- send it to PBS! Send it as a letter to the New York Times! All you did was just nail every single argument, and expose to the world what PBS tried to conceal -- the moral barrenness of the ideological Left.

And remember, boys and girls -- the German Nazis were a Left party, too, and don't ever let anyone tell you differently!

And FWIW, I used PBS's public-feedback link to send them a stiffly worded note about, okay, if McCarthy was right -- what about it, guys? You going to climb down any on the subject of Joseph McCarthy?

No, they were a right-wing party, as everyone agreed at the time. Left and right are mere groupings, not ideals or ideologies. The nazis were right-wing socialists. There are such critters, you know. They are more common in Europe than in America, though.
