Hate to rain on the author’s parade, but HUAC was the HOUSE [of Representatives] UnAmerican Activities Committee. Joseph McCarthy served in the SENATE.

Yes, and McCarthy wasn't responsible for rooting out commies in Hollywood either as the author states.

Amazing that he can get such major points wrong since he is such a admirer of McCarthy.

I do agree with most of what he says, however.

You are correct, HUAC was Nixon IIRC.

My dad guarded McCarthy’s casket. He was in the marine color guard. He was a marine recruiter in Appleton, Wisconsin at the time.

Mrs. McCarthy came to him at one point and said, “Sergeant, these people from the newspapers are saying they are going to spit on my husbands’s body. Can you do something, please?” He said, “Maam, I will stand at attention with my hand on my sword.” Dad was a Guadalcanal, Pellelieu, and Inchon veteran. God rest him.

No one spat on the senator’s body or casket that day, but that was what our friends inn the press were like, even back then. They loved the wrong Joe. Stalin. Unfortunately, you saw that this writer got the wrong house of congress. The libs do that all the time.

that’s right and it seems that most liberals don’t know the difference between the two. McCarthy had nothing to do with hollyweird, he was mainly concerned with the communist infiltration in our government agencies like the department of state.
