One thing that the historians won’t tell you is that McCarthy set communism back at least 60 years. We need to do it again.
Whatever people think about McCarthy’s sometimes unorthodox and/or sensational methods, virtually all the history of the period that has been seen or read by the general public was reported on and written by far-leftists and sympathetic to the left liberals. Over the years I’ve been stunned by the numbers of media libs who were either card-carrying commies or libs who carried water for them. So whatever the rightness of his methods, McCarthy never got a fair break from the people covering that era. Now he is finally getting his just due.
Take one look at Hollywood today. Universities. Public schools. Newspapers.
McCarty was right.
