I fascinated that both you and PC seem enamoured of the same heresay McCarthy (Coulter?) quote, where he admits he's an idiot that casts a broad net, and catches....NOTHING!
At any rate, Wiki, as I said, is a somewhat disingenuous source, but like PoliticalChick, its cheap and easy. Even it makes the point that William Remmington was being investigated long before McCarthy began his witch-hunt:
McCarthy found nothing.
I don't agree. He found a loyalty risk, which was exactly what he was looking for. Nothing more, nothing less. He didn't claim originality.
I wasn't aware PC quoted that bit already, but I'm fascinated that Wiki reports Remington's death as "one of the few murders attributable to McCarthyism."
OT Trivia: Which US Senator introduced a bill in 1954 that would have outlawed the Communist Party? (Hint: he was a Democrat.)
Wiki isn't really a source that I expect to find the most unbias information: Thus the "one of the few murders attributable to McCarthyism." My question is what were the others?
Well then, you think McCarthy found a "loyalty risk." So now we're reduced to playing semantical footsie?
WTF is "LOYALTY RISK?"
Someone who had no freaking business having a government security clearance, because there was ample and solid reason to believe they weren't loyal to the US.
