And his suspects were CONFIRMED as Soviet agents by Gorbachev and the head of the KGB! (I guess Communists just don’t believe their fellow Communists;)

She was born during his time in the Senate, but she was all of 9 1/2 years old when he died in 1957.

"McCarthyism turned the ’50s into a reckless, anti-Communist witch hunt ..."

He says that like it's a ~bad~ thing.

“Victims included hundreds jailed for refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) about their personal political ideals and associations”

Uhhh, McCarthy had nothing to do with HUAC, which was a House committee whose formation predated McCarthy’s actions on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations by more than a decade.

Incidentally, I wonder if this genius knows one of McCarthy’s biggest supporters was the Kennedy family?

McCarthy had nothing to do with HUAC. He was a senator.

There must be some way to work Vlad Tepes into this thread.

Scott Walker does not come across as a Sen. Joe <cCarthy type at all. He is not intimidating or threatening, unless you belong to a Union and want everyone else forced to join it too.

I stand corrected as to the event in young Hillary’s legal career. However, such does not change my perusal of her career or future years that she was associated with some nefarious actions. I wouldn’t trust her or Bill Clinton to give me honest change for a 5 dollar bill or even a 1 dollar bill.

Ann Coulter wrote a book about McCarthy. Any time the left starts to deride him, cite Ann’s book to counter.

Somehow I knew after reading the title where this was going and one sentence, the very first one, was sufficient evidence that this piece deserved a barf alert.

Ann Coulter pays respects to the grave of Senator McCarthy, Appleton, Wisconsin, 2003.

Since the 1950s, right-wing Sen. McCarthy has been the worst stain on both Wisconsin politics and the Republican Party nationally. McCarthy achieved that distinction by getting an entire, shameful era in U.S. politics—the McCarthy Era—named after him.


WRONG Joe McCarthy is vindicated he was completely correct accurate and almost prophetic..

Opposed to the brazen Marxist in the White House..
AND infecting the entire Executive Branch of federal service..

Anyone against Joe McCarthy is a moron -OR- has a Socialist Agenda..

i.e. Communism IS socialism..

Documents released after the collapse of the Soviet Union show that McCarthy was 100% correct.

The liberals are trying to rewrite the truth.
