Joe McCarthy was a reactionary demagogue in the GOP. He would be quite welcome in the current party...
This poster is exactly the example I needed for the OP.....braindead, never having read a book, but willingly parrots the lies of the Democrats/Liberals.
"Joe McCarthy was a reactionary demagogue in the GOP. He would be quite welcome in the current party..."
Let's check:
. Senator Joe McCarthy confronted government officials concealing communist involvement and excessively lax security with regards to Communists in sensitive U.S. Government posts. In many cases he was on target, with over 81 of the names he gave the Tydings committee resulting in resignations or movement of security risks. Given that over 200 of the spies uncovered in the Venona decrypts were never identified, we can only speculate as to the national security impact of removing Communists from key DoD and State Dept posts.
Arthur Herman, author of "Joseph McCarthy: Reexamining the Life and Legacy of America's Most Hated Senator," says that the accuracy of McCarthy's charges "was no longer a matter of debate," that they are "now accepted as fact."
And The New York Post's Eric Fettmann has noted: "growing historical evidence underscores that, whatever his rhetorical and investigative excesses - and they were substantial - McCarthy was a lot closer to the truth about Communism than were his foes."
Whittaker Chambers wrote in his book WITNESS that liberals are/were incapable of ever effectively fighting Communism because they did not see anything in Communism that was antithetical to their own beliefs. In short, Liberals are Communists and Communists are Liberals.
People are entitled to their own political beliefs. None of these people were ever accused of overthrowing the government. The cols war was not about communism. It was about Soviet expansionism. Whittaker Chambers was a right wing fascist.
"People are entitled to their own political beliefs. None of these people were ever accused of overthrowing the government."
What 'people,' fool????
You are the fool. You excel at that.
