And the actions of the democrats in the senate and the left wing media in taking down Senator Joe McCarthy were just as bad
It is one of the US worst secrets that Joe McCarthy was very much correct as to communist influence in the US. That Ike took such an open and strong stand against what McCarthy was telling the people takes a lot of the glitter away from Ike as seeing what was best for the US. His pathetic treatment of Patton also downgrades Ike in my listing of best US persons in US history leaving out the rumors of his association with his driver Kay (something) .
