I think at least part...You make a good point, Aard. I think at least part of the answer is that McCarthy was going after Commies in large numbers, not just an individual here or there. He also had name brand recognition giving him high visibility and, for a short while, control over a committee with Congressional investigative powers. So, McCarthy was capable of doing much harm to the Communist cause. <br /><br />In the books "McCarthy" and "Special Counsel", the authors Roy Cohn and William Rusher each propose interesting theories about why the communists and the Leftist media attacked McCarthy so extra-venomously. I am certain that one reason the Republicans eventually aligned with the Democrats to stop McCarthy is that they rightly feared he would come to focus on the greater New World Order conspiracy, and so the Power that controls both political parties wanted him marginalized. <br /><br />At any rate, you are correct that on the surface anyway, the treatment given McCarthy for attempting to expose traitors in positions of influence does not make a lot of sense when viewed side by side with the public perception of others who have had similar goals.<br /><br />Thanks for your insightful comment, Aard.<br /><br />~ STMcC<br /><"As a dog returns to his own vomit, <br />so a fool repeats his folly." <br />~ Proverbs 26:11>Stephen T.

I ask you... is this fair?<br /><br />~The Aard~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272211918278108300.post-33876970540132993222009-05-07T08:06:00.000-07:002009-05-07T08:06:00.000-07:00I have good friends who are also good men and good...I have good friends who are also good men and good Americans.<br /><br />~ STMcC<br /><"As a dog returns to his own vomit, <br />so a fool repeats his folly." <br />~ Proverbs 26:11>Stephen T.

I will also guarantee that with just that one book in your possession, you will be able to debate any Liberal anywhere on the subject of Senator Joseph McCarthy and totally kick ass!<br /><br />There's more to know about McCarthy and "McCarthyism" (and I disagree with the author on one or two relatively minor points), but the information in that one book alone will make you the guy driving the tank to the knife fight.<br /><br />I'm also Xtremely glad to know that this world is slowly coming to realize that McCarthy was one of this country's truly great patriots. No one before or since endured as much undeserved criticism. His very name was made synonymous with "evil", and yet he refused to back down. He spoke the truth on behalf of his country while the real evil was provided by his lying critics.<br /><br />You may not find it the most exciting book, WP-O, but you'll walk away with a mind Full O'Facts and the knowledge that Senator Joe was America's defender, not Her wrecking ball.<br /><br />~ STMcC<br /><"As a dog returns to his own vomit, <br />so a fool repeats his folly." <br />~ Proverbs 26:11>Stephen T.
