Lillian Hellman has had plenty of negative press - at least two bios that have run her reputation into the ground. There is even a book written by her temporary secretary that makes her out as a monster.

The problem is: Hellman was a fine playwright. Several of her plays are continually reproduced in London where they still appreciate “the well-written” play. And so, while a politician fades in memory, the artist lives on.

McCarthy was, of course, referring to Hellman's preposterous memoirs that are filled with lies. McCarthy was no bargain either.

Hellman was a nasty piece of work who like many self-titled intellectuals of the 1930s fell in love with the Soviets. And never admitted the error of their adoration.

The late Senator Joe McCarthy is vindicated and validated on a daily basis.

For too many years, his good name has been trashed and sullied by the detestable, odious and plain rotten Commies in our society and it has to be stopped.

McCarthy was ‘mainly’ right? He was absolutely right. The ‘hysteria’ was another leftist creation designed to destroy McCarthy’s credibility.

Our government was fully infested with communists. Tail Gunner Joe had the courage to expose them. For his troubles, he was treated as shabbily as President Trump is today. He died a premature death, having been driven to alcohol abuse.

Libtards love to muddy the waters and mak you believe that Senator McCarthy had something to do with the Hollywood blacklists. Which is nonsensical, since the blacklisting was done by the House.

At least somebody is writing something accurate about the Senator.

All conservatives must read Blacklisted by History, by the late M Stanton Evans for the actual facts about the McCarthy era.

...subpoenaed before the House Un-American Activities Committee by McCarthy...

Er, wasn't Senator McCarthy, as his title implies, a member of the Senate?
