Ann Coulter is a talented writer as well as an attractive and popular woman, which is why she's in a position to take on an issue that many have courageously championed for decades to little avail. In her upcoming book,
Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism , Coulter states:
"The myth of 'McCarthyism' is the greatest Orwellian fraud of our times. Liberals are fanatical liars, then as now. Everything you think you know about McCarthy is a hegemonic lie."
The truth about Joe McCarthy and the story of his successful exposure of the communist conspiracy that infected our government during the FDR Administration is once again being trumpeted but this time by a cultural icon who has already sold millions of books and who can't be ignored or dismissed. Hallelujah!
Regarding the ongoing and unrelenting big-lie attack on Joe McCarthy from the left, a man who was simply doing the job he was elected to do, namely, to guard our Constitution and our way of life against a conspiracy to undermine it, Coulter comments:
"Liberals denounced McCarthy because they were afraid of getting caught, so they fought back like animals...McCarthy was not tilting at windmills. Soviet spies in the government were not a figment of right-wing imaginations. He was tilting at an authentic Communist conspiracy that had been laughed off by the Democratic Party."
It should be noted that it is certainly a protected right in this country for an individual to be a Communist. It is also a right for an individual to be a Nazi, or a Klansmen. Contrary to leftist agitprop, Joe McCarthy recognized this right, he expressed that recognition on many occasions, and he was quite careful to play by the rules in his investigation of government subversion. Joe McCarthy, contrary to leftist lies, was involved in investigating the phenomena of secret communists operating within the Federal Government, nothing more and nothing less.
During his brief tenure in the U.S.Senate, Joe McCarthy confronted and uncovered the bizarre phenomena of certain government officials, in some cases very highly placed and regarded government officials, as engaging in a concealment of their communist involvement. An analogous situation to the one that Joe McCarthy confronted would be if an al-Qaeda operative were working in the State Department or another sensitive agency of government today and keeping his affiliation secret. Joe McCarthy demonstrated the fact that Communists had no more of a right work in our government than Nazis or a Klansmen. The American people, conversely, have a right to know the political orientation of government officials who might be in a position where they could adversely influence the future of the country.
The liberal response to Joe McCarthy's revelations, then and now, was to submit him, and his reputation to a public auto da fe, one that continues to stand as an example of what the left will do to someone who dares to defy their agenda. Coulter states: "While consistently rooting against America, liberals have used a fictional event forged of their own hysteria - "McCarthyism" -- to prevent Americans from ever asking the simple question: Do liberals love their country?" Congratulations to Ann Coulter, may she have much success with this endeavor for the sake of all of us.
At a frightful sacrifice, even of his own well being and life, Joe McCarthy was nevertheless successful in fulfilling the public obligation he shouldered. His work was not in vain. In spite of a campaign of vilification, hate, and lies, Joe McCarthy successfully alerted the American public at large to the danger Communism posed. Joe McCarthy's career parallels that of Winston Churchill in that Churchill likewise tried to warn the British people about the impending danger of Nazism in the 1930's. Churchill was vilified before World War II but like Joe McCarthy, Churchill understood his times and the nature of evil. Human history can often hinge on the conscience and action of a single brave individual. We should remember with gratitude that the left failed in its attempt to silence Joe McCarthy as most Americans woke up in time to their treachery.
At the time I knew that this was simply propaganda from the Washington Post. The idea that a pharmacist would supply an illegal drug that was easily available on the streets of D.C., and untraceable, was obviously a lie.
At the time, I thought, "Joseph McCarthy was right all along." Yes, he was.
Big deal. So's Ted Kennedy.
What we do know now, is that from 1920 when Lenin gave John Reed over a million bucks in plunder from the Tsars to fence in NYC until the end of the USSR, there was a massive, well financed campaign to subvert our government.
McCarthy got in the way of those doing it. And he died at an suspiciously early age.
And this is EXACTLY why the Bush Admin Wants & Needs a close circle when conducting the War on Terror and other matters.

How the world would be different if Bobby Kennedy had just stayed on as counsel.
Didn't help much. Those under investigation still tried to play the antisemitism card. Vol. 3 of the just released executive transcripts deals with possible Soviet agents at the Army's Ft. Monmouth radar labs. Many of the scientists there went to City College with Julius Rosenberg (who had recruited, the government knew, at least 10 friends to work for the Soviets). The committee wonders how those under investigation got lawyered up so fast:
Mr. Rainville. Then a couple of attorneys were there. Don't you wonder who is paying the bill?Mr. Lovenstein. I know who is paying the bill.
Mr. Rainville. Oh, I thought you said you didn't know about that.
Mr. Lovenstein. I know who is.
Mr. Cohn. Who is?
Mr. Lovenstein. The B'nai B'rith Society, I know. This has been indicated.
Mr. Jones. The B'nai B'rith?
Mr. Lovenstein. Yes.
Mr. Rainville. The Anti-Defamation Society, you think?
Mr. Lovenstein. I heard the society mentioned. I don't think they have been called in . . .
Mr. Cohn. I want to ask you this: What is the point of B'nai B'rith having anything to do with this?
Mr. Lovenstein. There is an assumption that there is an anti-Semitic movement.
Mr. Cohn. Well, that is an outrageous assumption. I am a member and an officer of B'nai B'rith.
Mr. Lovenstein. I was under the same naive impression until I became aware of some facts. Excuse me for saying that.
Mr. Cohn. Sure. Who made the suggestion that there is an anti-Semitic movement?
Mr. Lovenstein. The rest of the people who have been suspended or un-cleared. I didn't originate it. I have heard it in the group . . .in the current investigation, to the best of our knowledge--I say ``our''; this is the meeting--there were fifteen people on the carpet, either suspended or uncleared. Of the fifteen, fourteen are Jewish. . . .
Mr. Cohn. This is all news to me. I don't know the religion of these people, and I don't care. It doesn't matter whether out of 530 people there are 530 Jews or Catholics or Protestants . . .
Mr. Schine. Thank you very much, sir.
Incidentally, on the question of anti-Semitism, if somebody there is anti-Semitic, according to your percentage figures, I would say he was fighting a losing battle. That 25 percent Jewish is rather a high percentage.
Mr. Lovenstein. Not at the current rate, because the current rate of suspensions is practically 99 percent Jewish. If you keep going at 99 percent, ultimately you get almost that whole 25 percent.
Mr. Schine. Of course, religion doesn't exclude the possibility of being involved in criminal activity or provide a shield which he can hide behind.
Mr. Lovenstein. Right, sir.
Mr. Jones. Where do you believe the fountainhead of this anti-Semitism stems from out there at Monmouth? . . .
Liberals denounced McCarthy because they were afraid of getting caught, so they fought back like animals...McCarthy was not tilting at windmills. Soviet spies in the government were not a figment of right-wing imaginations. He was tilting at an authentic Communist conspiracy that had been EMBRACED by the Democratic Party."
LOL!
The New England Christians who became, by the end of the 1800s, secular humanists, were very old Testament in outlook at the start. They denied the divinity of Christ and focused on works and the law. Communism was/is a perfect fit for many Jews and Christians. Karl Marx has been referred to as the last Old Testament prophet. Sure seems to fit to me. That marxism is a religion is the only reason I can see that people continue to believe when proof is all around them of what an abject failure it is.
The measure of your stature is taken by the ferocity of your opponent. Given the way JBS has been targeted by the liberals for utter destruction is in itself a form of vindication. THIS is the reason why they insisted on having the US SENATE investigate them shortly after their formation in the 1950's in anticipation of such attacks in the future. Of course, they were correct.
