THE McCARTHY WARS: A BULLET FROM MY MUSKET

.
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
~ Isaiah 5:20

As mentioned in the above Blog Bit, what follows is the last round I fired in my Senator McCarthy debate with a Liberal at Amazon.com calling himself Groupzero.

April 9, 2008:

*NOTICE: TO ALL WHO TRAVEL THIS WAY*
Mark well what has transpired here and let it be a lesson that you carry with you from now on. Retain this episode in your memory as a typical example of what occurs EVERY TIME an anti-anti-Communist liberal encounters an informed pro-McCarthy, pro-Constitution American patriot.

In his review of "Point Of Order", Groupzero wrote that Senator Joseph McCarthy was "an opportunist who ruined the lives of numerous innocent Americans."

Now note that when Jill Cooper asked Groupzero on Jan. 24, 2007 to name just one innocent person who was slandered by McCarthy and had their life ruined as a result, Groupzero responded with two names: Milo Radulovich and Annie Lee Moss. This is when I entered the picture and pointed out that the first person he mentioned had no connection with McCarthy whatsoever, and the second person he mentioned was PROVEN to have been a Communist working in a sensitive government job, just as McCarthy had said she was.

Let it also be noted that when I accused Groupzero of getting his information from the movie "Good Night, And Good Luck", he attempted to spin that charge and pretend that I was the one using the movie as an information source when this was OBVIOUSLY untrue. His deviation from truth is apparent in his review and in his EVERY post here.

Later, Groupzero calls McCarthy a "closet-homosexual." This personal smear of McCarthy rendered by Groupzero was no more truthful than his statements that McCarthy had falsely accused and ruined the lives of Radulovich and Annie Lee Moss. Hopefully you have noticed that Groupzero is in fact guilty of doing to McCarthy THE VERY EXACT THINGS that he has falsely accused McCarthy of having done to others. That is, publicly spreading lies designed to castigate and ruin the personal reputation of an innocent person. That's the way it is with many liberals, they commit what is called "projection." The Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary defines projection as "the tendency to ascribe to another person feelings, thoughts, or attitudes present in oneself."

Nearly 15 months have now passed since Jill Cooper first asked Groupzero to name one innocent person whose life was ruined by a McCarthy lie, and yet he still has not provided us with EVEN ONE name (other than the two names he gave and got totally wrong). He has probably searched many liberal internet sites and the libby Hollywood propaganda pieces and to his great disappointment discovered that there were no innocent people ruined by McCarthy. So, in desperation, he has offered this pathetic analogy:

>>[Anyway, I didn't answer your question because it's a ridiculous question. It's like asking how many Jews Adolph Hitler personally killed. None, but that's not the issue. Was Hitler responsible for the deaths of millions of Jews? Yes. Was McCarthy responsible for the ruination of thousands of innocent Americans' lives? Of course he was.]<<

Let me point out that there is no comparison between what Hitler did and what McCarthy attempted to do. Hitler was a demented racist dictator bent on killing all who stood in his way while attempting to create and control an insane political machine. Unlike Hitler, McCarthy did not institute and orchestrate any pogroms; he was simply trying to expose individuals who had surreptitiously entered highly influential positions in our government, individuals who were loyal to a foreign and highly un-American system of government and were attempting to subvert our Constitutional Republic. These people were being placed in these positions and protected by other anti-Americans. And being a loyal and patriotic American citizen who had been entrusted by those who elected him, and who had sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, McCarthy was bravely attempting to remain true to his oath of office. (If all of our elected representatives had taken their oaths as seriously as McCarthy did, the U.S.A. wouldn't be the wreck that it now is in 2008!)

McCarthy did not commit any egregious acts during his hearings to expose the traitors in high places; his methods followed the standard, previously determined protocols for subcommittee investigations. When he DID deviate from those protocols at all, it was only in giving greater latitude to the individual being questioned. McCarthy in fact bent over backwards to be MORE THAN FAIR to all who were brought before his investigating committee. (Sure, that statement contradicts the generally accepted beliefs about McCarthy, but until you have personally researched this subject, how can you KNOW who is telling you the truth, the media or me?) It was in fact McCarthy himself who said that it would be a very bad thing if a person who was not a Communist was labeled as such.

Because he can't find a single innocent person who was abused by McCarthy, Groupzero now wants to issue a blanket statement and say that if ANY innocent person ANYWHERE was falsely accused by ANYONE of being a loyalty or security risk, that it is somehow McCarthy's fault. But God Himself denounces Groupzero's methods! God says: "The fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall the children be put to death for their fathers; but a person shall die for his own sin." (-2 Chronicles 25:4) And again in Ezekiel 18:2-30: 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge' "As I live," says The Lord God, "you shall no longer use this proverb in Israel. ... The soul who sins shall die. But if a man is just and does what is lawful and right... he is just; he shall surely live. ... Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways."

Whereas I originally attempted to give Groupzero the benefit of the doubt, and simply assumed that he had been misled by the media about Senator McCarthy (just as most Americans have been), sadly, I can no longer do so. His latest tactics force me to conclude that he is maliciously lying about the Senator in order to further discourage those who might come to the truth. When he sees that none of the evidence supports his accusations and yet he still holds fast to them, I can no longer believe that this man has been duped by misinformation.

In my opinion, his position is mystifying: when more of his support seemingly goes to the Communists rather than to the sincere anti-Communist who LAWFULLY attempted to oust them from positions of power and influence, I am unfortunately forced to wonder to what degree he values our time-honored governmental traditions. Were they not worth a serious fight to preserve? But regardless of where his heart is (which I can't pretend to know), this sort of person disgusts me - he perpetrates great evil against the reputation of an innocent and amazingly courageous man in the name of a completely phony and totally un-American twisted concept of "justice."

There are a number of excellent books on McCarthy available, but for the person who wants just a solid overview of THE TRUTH, I would strongly recommend you read the free online article posted at this address:

http://www.knology.net/~bilrum/mccarthy.htm

Having spent many years researching this subject, I can personally confirm the accuracy of the article at the website above. For the person who wishes to study McCarthy and "McCarthyism" in even greater detail, I highly suggest you start with the recently published "BLACKLISTED BY HISTORY: THE UNTOLD STORY OF SENATOR JOE McCARTHY AND HIS FIGHT AGAINST AMERICA'S ENEMIES" by M. Stanton Evans. And I would follow that one up with "McCARTHY AND HIS ENEMIES" by Buckley and Bozell. There is simply no good excuse for you to be continually misled by a dishonest media and the disingenuous Groupzeroes in this world.

As for Groupzero and the others like him: let me promise you that there are two bets you can make with ANY liberal at ANY time and NEVER lose:

1) The phrase "separation of church and state" does not exist in The Declaration Of Independence, The U.S. Constitution, or The Bill Of Rights.

2) Senator Joseph McCarthy NEVER falsely accused a single person of being a loyalty or security risk.

If the Lib gives you a name and claims to have won the bet, you are a fool if you take their word for it! Follow it up with your own research before paying the money to him or her and you will unquestionably find that the person the Lib named either came up before some investigating committee other than McCarthy's (e.g., the House Committee on Un-American Activities). Or they may have provided a valid name, and research on your part will show that the facts in that person's history did indeed make them a security risk, just as McCarthy charged.

Trust me: when you insist that a person give names to prove their accusations that McCarthy smeared the innocent, you will ALWAYS get the double-talking tactics that you saw Groupzero attempt in this Comments section. This was a TRULY TYPICAL example of deception and evasion from yet another dishonest McCarthy hater. When it comes to the subject of Senator McCarthy, there is LESS THAN ZERO truth to be found in GroupZERO.
