Contemptible is your subjective judgement....
...I've yet to see you apply that to Obama....or Reid..etc.
Now for your attempt at obfuscation:
What is apparent in this thread is that the good Senator was not lying about those he pointed out as enemies of America, and that is the nature of this thread.
This thread was started about McCarthy (not Reid or..what's the other guy's name again?). If you wish to now redefine it to exclude anything that refutes your position, you may do so (to your embarrassment). It is not my job to equally praise or criticize anyone or anything. I doubt you'll see me defending much that is essentially Republican or Democrat.
At least you accept that this man, the subject of this thread that you started, was a miserable character and no one to look up to, even if (big if) he was right that boogey men were in the closet.
Well he was right and in fact understated about the boogey man in the closet because those were the people who convinced FDR to support Mao over Shek and surrender Eastern Europe to Uncle Joe Stalin
See, it mattered
Now before you get all excited in blind constitution tearing fury read me out.
Stalin was a monster like I said. The cold war was real.
Spies were all over the place. We were fighting Russia all over the place.
Heck, starting before the Commies were in power we were fighting them. Go look up some unit histories if you don't believe me. (seperate incarnations of the HMS Erebus shelled both our and Russian revolutionaries oddly enough) Even the Brits were in on it.
I just don't think Europe in 45 was a good battle for us. Korea against the newly formed Chinese went poorly enough. Maybe we could have nuked Amsterdam in August of 45 to pull pressure off our troops in Dunkirk. Man, that is another five years of an unsure war between the west and Russia after the world was at war for a decade of the previous three.
FDR, more Truman, had faith our system would winout and it did.
