For more than half a century, McCarthyism stood as a defining chapter in the worldview of American liberals: a warning about the dangerous allure of blacklists, witch hunts, and demagogues.

“Until 1991 and the fall of the USSR and the opening of the KGB archives wherein Joe was proved correct.“
My parents generation of Republicans knew Joe was right all along, so my generation of Republicans grew up holding that belief long before 1991.
What ticks me off is how the proof that came in 1991 made zero difference. Democrats and the MSM still insist McCarthy was a power-happy tyrant who abused his power to ruin innocent people’s lives - and it seems like hardly anyone on our side pushes back.
Same thing with Nixon and the Watergate hoax. Same thing with Trump and the Russia hoax. The Left gets to write the fake news, and after a while the fake news becomes the fake history, which is taught to our children in “history” class.
Exactly!
I really angers me when I read, watch, or hear some supposed conservative flippantly throw out McCarthy as an example of speculation and overreach. The Venona Files and other archived info released after the fall of the USSR showed McCarthy to be correct.
“Blacklisted By History” should be mandatory reading for every single American. M. Stanton Evans. Profusely well documented; stands accepted American History as it has been reported and taught on its head.
