One must be careful in sifting the chaff from the wheat. In this case, the smear of "alcoholism" is -- typically for liberals -- only partially correct. During the time when he was holding his Army/State Dept. hearings in the Senate, McCarthy was NOT a drunk. In fact, he was close to a teetotaler. It wasn't until his career was ruined by the media and his own blind ambition that he started hitting the bottle that hard.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, there are Lies, Damned Lies, and Liberal History.

Let’s not fall for yet another lie that has been perpetrated by the Left.

Hepatitis is indeed a disease of the liver and can be crippling if not fatal.

Cirrhosis is also a disease of the liver, caused generally by extreme alcohol abuse.

By leaving out a bit of fact, the left has done a fine job of continuing a smear against a good man.

“He drank a lot and died of liver disease.” Implied lie: He was a drunk.

I hope that one day, the truth will come out and drive out the lies of the left on this and so many other events and people in history. We just have to keep plugging away.
