Joe McCarthy should posthumously be awarded a Congressional Medal of Freedom.

[sparky]

 

[McRocket]

The guy was a censored, drunken, morphine-addicted, paranoid, rabid communist-hating loser who most of America could not care less about and had little respect for by the end.

Plus, he was no war hero. He had a desk job in intelligence and was a gunner on 12 missions. There were literally hundreds of thousands of guys with FAR more distinguished careers than he had. Maybe millions.
Also, the jerk HUGELY exaggerated his war record for political gain.

'He later falsely claimed participation in 32 aerial missions in order to qualify for a Distinguished Flying Cross and multiple awards of the Air Medal, which the Marine Corps chain of command decided to approve in 1952 because of his political influence.'

Joseph McCarthy - Wikipedia

He was nothing but a loser.

He got elected to Senate and saw the danger to the pillars of American culture. What have you done?

BHe also got himself censored by the same Senate.

Congraduations

But history proves he was correct

All history proved was that he was a nut.

A weak, pathetic, paranoid nut.


Have a nice day.

Wrong.

You are clearly uninformed and ignorant of history

Regardless of what other bad shit he did in his personal life his specific accusations about communists were proven accurate


Sorry but that is fact

He was not paranoid

LOL...you think I am going to waste my time reading your (undoubtedly) ridiculous replies to me?



Have a nice day, comrade.

Joe McCarthy was right about a lot of the communist infestation in the State Department and Hollywood. After the fall of the Soviet Union, records were released and many in the State Department turned out to have been spies for the KGB. Contrary to myth, McCarthy never tried to have any of the traitorous actors that were members of the Communist Party prosecuted.

Has there ever been an American politician more unfairly maligned than Joe McCarthy?

Here's a decent article on it, explaining why leftists in America have a higher opinion of Karl Marx and various Communist leaders than they do of an American patriot like Joe McCarthy.

Why I praise Sen. Joseph McCarthy - WND - WND

Quote from article:

"Back to McCarthy. As I revisit this tragic Promethean figure of the early 1950s, let us first answer two basic questions lucidly without emotion: 1) Did McCarthy find Communists, Communist sympathizers and Soviet spies in the State Department, in Hollywood, in the academy, in the literary world, in the military, in the media during his Senate committee hearings? 2) Does an unbiased account of history show that McCarthy abused his power? Yes on the first question, No, on the second.

Conservative political writer Ann Coulter said this of McCarthy and the 50 years of incessant demonization by the liberal propaganda press:

I know he got a bad rap because there are no monuments to Joe McCarthy. Liberals had to destroy McCarthy because he exposed the entire liberal establishment as having sheltered Soviet spies. … There’s always a conflict of interest when people who don’t really like America are called upon to defend it."

If anything, the Senator vastly UNDERSTATED the extent to which Democrat Administrations were controlled by and subservient to Stalin.

I'd love to see the media's reaction if he was awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction. Fox News could cover it with a detailed story of his life with Trump placing the medal on his grave at the end while a 13 gun salute was being executed in the background. A documentary should be made warning of the dangers of ignoring and maligning patriotic whistleblowers. If he had not lifted the veil, who knows what damage the subversive communists may have done to this country. The truth needs to be told and the record set straight in the history books.

I notice the folks that attack McCarthy seem to keep throwing out his personal problems. Most often alcoholism and drug abuse stem from depression and anxiety. This does not however, discount the supreme intelligence and danger which McCarthy foresaw for the nation. If anything, this impending national disease of collectivism that was eating at the heart of the nation, which he found himself powerless to stop, compelled him to self-medicate his own disease/depression. That forum members would make fun of and dismiss him for that sickness is disgusting, and they are putting their heads in the sand.

I will admit, McCarthy DID do some damage to several innocent folks just for having different political points of view, this is unacceptable. There is nothing wrong with being able to hold whatever political opinion one wishes to hold as an individual, this is America. It does however become a problem when our nation's universities and institution's become infected with unAmerican ideals.

THIS is what he came close to uncovering, and hence why the establishment felt the need to destroy him. It has always been the story when a politician goes against the establishment's agenda.



This Is War!

In that same year, 1954, the same globalist and communist forces combined in identical manner to destroy Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.). Anthony Lukas, writing for the New York Times, a CFR stronghold and one of McCarthy’s harshest critics, noted that “as McCarthy bulled ahead it became clear that his real target was the Eastern Establishment, which had run the nation’s foreign policy for decades.” Lukas observed that although “McCarthy never explicitly attacked” the CFR, nevertheless, “many of those he denounced were or had been Council members.”

It was this fear that McCarthy might publicly connect the dots between communists and the globalists that sent the CFR brain trust into full panic mode and sealed the senator’s fate. Their unrelenting demonization of McCarthy has served as an effective deterrent; no congressional efforts to expose the funding of subversion (and perversion) by the tax-exempt foundations has taken place in the nearly three-quarters of a century since the Reece-McCarthy era. Since that time the number of foundations and the size of their subversive grant-making have seen a manifold increase. With remarkable consistency, many of the largest of these foundations have been using their vast resources to fund groups, institutions, and individuals that apply simultaneous pressure from above and below to undermine Christian society and our constitutional order, with the aim of replacing it with a totalitarian “New World Order.”

Not just Democratic administrations, but the entire CFR had been pliant to their agenda.

McCarthy was a HUGE piece of shit who ruined lives.

May he rot in hell. He was an opportunist and a drunk. Fuck him

 

[Lesh]

He is known for alleging that numerous Communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers had infiltrated the United States federal government, universities, film industry, and elsewhere. Ultimately, the smear tactics that he used led him to be censured by the U.S. Senate. The term "McCarthyism", coined in 1950 in reference to McCarthy's practices, was soon applied to similar anti-communist activities. Today, the term is used more broadly to mean demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character or patriotism of political opponents

There have been people destroyed in this modern age of surveillance. Fiefdoms of power you know. There is no difference if that is your belief. Those people even in a two way confrontation will remember that to muddie the waters in conflict on both sides.

 

[Camp]

Joe McCarthy foolishly embellished his WWII record and was exposed as a "stolen valor" veteran, not a good thing to do, but particularly offensive during the years following WWII. He lost a lot of support and was mocked with the nickname "tail gunner Joe".

A fucked up thing is not excused by some other fucked up thing.

When you are right you’re right. After the Berlin Wall went down we found out McCarthy had been right all along.
But we knew that.

LOL... McCarthy was a complete loser. He blatantly lied about his war record, he was a massive drunk and a morphine addict.
I have known lots of drunks. The harder they drink, the weaker they are...they have not got the guts to face life or to stop...so they keep drinking.
That is bad enough. But his addiction to morphine PLUS being a drunk proves that he was INCREDIBLY weak. Only the weakest of people are addicted to both booze and drugs at the same time...let alone for most/much of their lives. Throw in his lying about his war record...he is a complete and total loser. A nobody desperate for attention and power.
The Supreme Court slammed down almost all the nonsense he and his kind tried to make law.
And the VAST majority of the people convicted during his term of various communist crap were clearly and obviously TOTALLY innocent.

His fellow politicians finally figured out and tired of his patheticness and censured him. The public - after seeing him on tv for the first time continuously during his attacks on the Army - saw what a looneytune he was...and rejected him.

He was a nothing. A liar, a drunk, a drug addict, a bully, a fool and a disgrace to America.

Anyone who thinks this guy was a great American must be either incredibly ignorant and/or mentally/emotionally defective...with paranoia instead of honor.

You McCarthy-lovers are utterly hilarious, utterly sad and utterly laughed at by - IMO - the majority of Americans.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

My only complaint about McCarthy is that the accused were not immediately disemboweled on national television.



I keed, I keed.

His approach was wrong, but he was FUCKING right in who he accused.

We are still loaded with commies.

They will never listen to reason. They will never stop trying. They are all dumb-as-fuck children (see AOC). Many of them are snakes in the grass, hiding their true political agenda.

They do not believe individuals have a right to life. They do not believe individuals a right to liberty and self-determination. They do not believe the individual has the right to pursue his/her own happines or own property.

The comminist/socialist is the anti-American to the motherfucking core.

No commie shares the same goal as an American. They will fight you to the bloody end without reason or compromise.

The only solution is to get rid of commies. The only solution is a Final Solution. The only solution to the commie problem is to do as Johnny Ramone suggested:

So you came to this board just to be a shit stirrer?

That fat old drunk died young of cirrhosis. He earned it. Despicable person

Like you

He was a decorated war hero that endured years and years of vicious abuse from Communist sympathizers in the government, media, and educational system for exposing the level of Communist infestation in America at the time. After Communism was eventually thoroughly debunked, those cockroaches switched to being "Democratic Socialists".

This is too vague. What part of Democratic Socialism don't you like? Tariff subsidies for farmers?

solyndra?

You mean the program that Solyndra was part of that netted 5 billion dollars and provided a crap load of jobs when we desperately needed them and advanced technology?

Of COURSE Republicans are against that

Why Did Solyndra Fail So Spectacularly?

"The spectacular failure of solar manufacturer Solyndra is being held up by some as a shining example of the Obama administration’s failure to properly manage government subsidies after its collapse left taxpayers with $535 million in federally guaranteed loans. But Solyndra’s failure on its own is not remarkable. There are always risks involved when you’re introducing innovation into a commoditized market. The bigger, and still unanswered, question is why did it take this much capital before it failed, given the warning signs?

In commoditized markets, explains Brad Zangler of Pivotal Investments, a firm with numerous investments in the cleantech/greentech space, the challenge is to disrupt the cost of producing energy, not just to create a worthy innovation. In fact, in a business like solar, the go-to-market strategy is just as important as the technology a company is developing. In Solyndra’s case, that technology was a new, unique type of tubular solar panel. The shape itself was an innovation. But the company was also benefitting from another advantage: it didn’t use polysilicon, so it wasn’t affected by the shortages which were hurting its competitors. In 2008, polysilicon was more than $400 per kilogram, but by the time the federal government issued Solyndra’s loan, the prices had fallen to just over $50 per kilogram."
