Except records showed macarthy was right about communist spies higj in the administration. To bad it took fifty years to prove him right because idiots like you seem to not know the truthStart here: Victims of McCarthyism
Owen Lattimore was a Communist Spy. Any decent country would have sat him next to the Rosenbergs on Death Row
If you find the United States so indecent why don't you go to hell? Isn't that where others like you who bear false witness against others end up? I doubt any place else would welcome a bum like you.

"During a speech in Wheeling, WV, Senator Joseph McCarthy (Republican-Wisconsin) claims that he has a list with the names of over 200 members of the Department of State that are "known communists." The speech vaulted McCarthy to national prominence and sparked a nationwide hysteria about subversives in the American government."

Name all 200, along with the evidence of the truth of his statement! Do it now or STFU and acknowledge you're not only a liar but also a fool.
First, it was 57, not 200... over the years the Leftist Media hyped the number up. Some years back I debated an imbecile, much like yourself, who cited a DU thread that claimed McCarthy ruined 'thousands of lives by falsely accusing them of being communists. She then went on to place McCarthy as the head of the HUAC. LOL! True story... (For the edification of the Intellectually Less Fortunate, Senator McCarthy was not affiliated with HUAC)
Anywho... McCarthy never disclosed them. Not one... . Although Soviet documents did expose many of them when the Venona Project, with Alger Hiss being among the more notorious examples, and one of FDRs closest aids Lauchlin Currie was also closely affiliated with Soviets along with the head of the Office that preceded the CIA, Maurice Halperine, these subversives, all home grown Democrats and "Progressives" all... ran rampant throughout FDR's Administration... later becoming deeply entrenched in the US State Department.
"On February 9, 1950, Senator Joseph McCarthy stepped into the spotlight of national attention with a speech given at Wheeling, West Virginia. McCarthy was nearing the end of his first term as senator and needed a big issue to energize his run for a second term. Holding up a piece of paper, he claimed to have in his possession information proving that more than 200 employees in the State Department were card-carrying members of the Communist Party. The charge--never substantiated--grabbed headlines at a time when friction with the Soviet Union and fear of communist subversion were growing in the country.
"The featured document, a telegram from Senator Joseph R. McCarthy to President Harry S. Truman, was sent to the president on February 11, 1950, two days after the Wheeling speech. Also included isTruman's reply (probably unsent). In this telegram to the president, Senator McCarthy repeats his assertion that he had the names of 57 Communists who were working in the State Department and called upon the President to provide Congress with a full accounting of Communist infiltration of the Department, including the role of alleged Communist spy Alger Hiss in protecting security risks. In an undated (and apparently unsent) reply, the President stated that McCarthy was not fit to serve in the U.S. government, adding that the people of Wisconsin must be very sorry to be represented in the Senate by such a person."
