Joseph McCarthy: American Hero

Free Republic is not a fan of the thought police, until it applies to their enemies:

McCarthy was wrong. He underestimated the number of Communists in Government.

The lesson still is the person who tells the truth is the one demonized by the media. When the message can't be refuted, attack the person.

If only we'd slid further down the road to fascism!

Supposedly a blindfolded dart-thrower would have been better at picking commies from a list of State Department employees posted on the wall.

IMHO McCarthy did very well, considering all the stumbling blocks thrown at his feet by so many enemies and so many "allies"..........What is of grave concern to me is how the Democrats (leadership) today are siding with the Islamofascists against Republicans, just as they did back then when they sided with the Communists against Republicans.....the parallels are astounding..........

I thank God the rest of America is at least sane enough that only the truly crazy advocate the purges of American government again.

This was the least complementary thing I could find anyone saying about Joseph McCarthy:

McCarthy was exactly right about many things, but he let his mouth and ambitions out-run his abilities...

I think that means he lied, but that he was still right.

Maddness.
