Joe McCarthy was right.
History is written to make McCarthy a danger to America and most believe he was. However SOME of his suspected communist sympathizers were found to actually be communist sympathizers. Some of these were in politics and some were in the film industry. Those must be fertile ground for subversive communist and socialist types. His problem was he went way overboard and named way too many people, should have stuck with the real anti-American ones only.
Tail Gunner Joe named people in the State Department who were Commies. He is blamed for the House Un-American Activities Committee actions (Hollywood blacklist) which was a standing committee until 1975...however, since Joe was a Senator he had nothing whatsoever to do with the House committee.
Since he was right though, it was imperative that the commies protect themselves and burn his career down.
Joe McCarthy was a danger to America.
Bob Mueller is a danger to America....
Joe McCarthy was a danger to USSR.
FIFY
I'd question you use of the word "right." How right was he? Out of the people he named, what percentage were actually Communists?
If I accused 100 people of being anti-semites, and 5 of that 100 are actual anti-semites, does that make me right, or does that make me a person who's throwing crap against a wall hoping it will stick to someone.
That looks like fox, not bear.
McCarthy was 100% on Communists, but he was only 12 confirmed of his 57 if we are talking Soviet agents.
