And to directly answer your inquiry about why I am posting to you, the reasons are:

1. You provided a link to the NewsMax article which recommended Coulter’s book, Treason.

2. That article characterizes the debate about McCarthy with hysterical terminology—i.e. “lies about Joseph McCarthy and McCarthyism”

3. You seem to think that since Coulter’s book (Treason) was published before Evans’ book, that perhaps Evans “didn’t just discover this truth”. The inference being that maybe Evans relied upon Coulter for his “truth”?

The problem with that inference is (as I have previously mentioned)

(a) What Coulter presented in her book is not “truth”; she is a professional polemicist who derives her income from writing and speaking in a manner which draws attention to her hyperbolic (and often false) statements and personal opinions. At best, she is a pundit (not a scholar nor even someone recognized for any contribution to public understanding about complex matters)

(b) Unlike Coulter, Evans engaged his critical faculties and did years-long seminal research which turned up new primary source documentation which had never been revealed before his book was published. [I had some of that material long before Evans did from my FOIA requests.]

The article says “...shattering revision of half a century of lies about Joseph McCarthy and “McCarthyism”...”

The point is, M. Stanton Evans didn’t just discover this truth. Somehow, Coulter already sold 396,600 hardcover copies on the topic.

I’m sure her’s is not as scholarly, LOL.
