History Shows Joe McCarthy's Reputation is Undeserved

Town Hall ^ | 1-28-08 | Phyllis Schafly

In fact, our government was much more infested with Soviet agents than McCarthy imagined.

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.
