So we're back to your refusal to admit being wrong again. Let's just review a few facts. One, the fact that Fisher had belonged to a notorious Communist front organization
Uh, this is America. You have every right to belong to any organization you want.
We already covered this nonsense. Again, actually, in America, no, you do not have the right to belong to a subversive organization that is funded by a hostile foreign power and is dedicated to overthrowing the U.S. Government. No, you have no right to belong to such an organization and still expect to work for the government and/or to profit from the very economic system that you would destroy if your ilk came to power.
According to your ignorant understanding of America, you have the "right" to join an Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, or ISIS branch in America and still work for the government and still enjoy all the benefits of living in America.
Personally, I'd like to throw a big fence around Utah and turn it into a Cult Deprogramming Camp, but the First Amendment says we can't.
Oh, I'm sorry you can't act on your fascist/communist/totalitarian desires here in America. Perhaps you should move to Red China, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, or Iran, where Christian churches of all kinds are either banned or are subjected to persecution, imprisonment, and violence.
Two, even the demagogue Joseph Welch was persuaded that Fisher needed to be dropped from his firm's team for the Army-McCarthy hearings and sent him back to Boston--once again, before McCarthy had uttered a word about him. Three, McCarthy only decided to bring up Fisher's case after Welch was rudely and dishonestly badgering Roy Cohn during the hearing.
And that's when the whole country realized Drunken Joe was a fraud. Funny how that worked.
I know this myth is thoroughly burned into your brain, but it's simply false. Polls done at the time showed that even after the Army-McCarthy hearings, McCarthy still enjoyed substantial public support.
I notice that you still have been unable to name a single person whose life was ruined by false charges made by McCarthy. The few cases you've named were cases where McCarthy either had no involvement or where there was clear evidence of membership in the Communist Party and/or in Communist front groups.
Again, McCarthyism was a shameful period in our history. We let fear rule us... good thing that never happened again.
"Again," this is a left-wing myth. You seem to think that if you just keep repeating myths long enough, somehow that will make them come true.
When McCarthy began to raise concerns about cases of apparent security risks that had not been acted on, Americans were starting to grasp the horrors of communism because of what was happening in Red China, Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and Korea. Your North Korean and Red Chinese heroes were killing our soldiers in Korea and trying to impose communism on South Korea. The tens of millions of people in Eastern Europe were being brutalized by Soviet tyranny. Millions of people were being killed in Mao's China.
Americans looked at all these events and decided they did not want communism in America and did not think it was a good thing for Americans to join pro-Communist groups, much less the Communist Party itself. Americans decided they kind of liked free elections, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, etc., and they saw that under Communist rule none of those things were allowed.
Except that nobody disputes the fact that Fisher belonged to the NLG,
Which again, he had every right to do. This is America.
This is indeed America, but there would be no America today if the Communist agents and sympathizers whom you're defending and glorifying had succeeded in their goal of establishing a Soviet-like regime on our soil.
And, "again," no one had "every right" to join a subversive group that was acting as the mouthpiece for the Soviet-funded Communist Party USA, much less to join the Communist Party itself. You know nothing about the Constitution and the original intent of our founding fathers.
Again, using your un-American, alien ideology, you not only have the "right" to join ISIS, or Al Qaeda, or Hamas, or Hezbollah here in America, but you have the "right" to join those groups and still work for the government and still enjoy all the benefits of the very freedoms that those groups are trying to destroy.
Nope, sorry, JoeB Mao, that's not how America works, and it's never been how America works. The First Amendment does not mean you get to join groups that are trying to destroy the very freedoms that you hide behind when people complain about your totalitarian ideology. No one but an anti-American kook like you claims that the First Amendment means you have the right to join the Communist Party or Al Qaeda or Hamas or ISIS and still work for the government and still profit from the very freedoms that your ilk would destroy if they came to power. It doesn't work that way.
