Was?
Is.
That is a nice summary of the problem.
And I agree about Hoover.
I don’t buy the bullcrap about him being dressed in drag and going go homosexual orgies in large groups. I find it ironic and amusing that gay-baiting is something that seems to emanate nearly entirely from the Left. I would be suspicious of any “friend” of mine who used my personal characteristics to slander someone else, which is precisely what liberals do.
I think McCarthy WAS getting his information from Hoover and have long suspected he must have had access to some Venona data through some conduit. If not, he was amazingly accurate.
