Sen Joe McCarthy ~ One of the greatest patriots in American History

Joseph McCarthy was a vile, deluded alcoholic who corrupted his position and himself by his greed for power. One need only to examine closely the copius newsreels from the final months of his witchhunts to see what type of man he truly was: Disheveled, unshaven and barely able to string enough words together to form a coherant thought. Let's also not forget his not-so-hidden attraction to Roy Cohn.

AND NO AMOUNT OF REVISIONIST RAVINGS ON THE PART OF THE OP [or his source material] CAN EVER CHANGE WHAT I'VE STATED ABOVE.

History has already judged Joseph McCarthy and judged him fairly: he was a blister upon the foot of democracy and a supreme embarrassment upon this nation during a particularly trying period in our past.

Once again: the OP is merely adopting a controversial stance to elicit heated rsponses. Do no let him succeed.

DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS THREAD AND LET IT DIE A QUICK DEATH. That is the only way to defeat this type of adversary.

Now the other idden history: during the Roosevelt administration it was members of the Communist Party who were the most dedicated and efficient workers the US has ever had. It was they that gave life to the New Deal. It was they that organized and single handedly lifted the wage rate above poverty levels. It was they that implemented the policies that gave relief from the humiliating effects of the Depression...

And what did they get for it?

A witchhunt, the moment they werent needed.

It wasnt only McCarthy, but the Dulles brothers and the House of Unamerican Activities, it was legislation deported immigrants, stripped naturalized US citizens of their citizenship, infiltrations of Unions to red bait members. In general, a disgusting era of concerted efforts to REVERSE the progress made the previous 20 years. Soviet spies in every corner? Hardly. Only hard working Americans committed to socialism, and a better society.

This history doesnt even exist except behind the closed doors of those who experienced it first hand. So called liberals and conservatives evade the REAL truth. And the rest of the population has been thoroughly brainwashed to accept a sanitized version of history, one which allows PACMAN to claim that poor old McCarthy was misunderstood, a hero actually. We've heard this before, and we'll hear it again.

The truth will die the moment the last person who knows the truth dies, and so will all resistance to the lies of both political establishments. Then history will be the lies that PACMAN wants it to be...
