Joe McCarthy was right about a lot of the communist infestation in the State Department and Hollywood. After the fall of the Soviet Union, records were released and many in the State Department turned out to have been spies for the KGB. Contrary to myth, McCarthy never tried to have any of the traitorous actors that were members of the Communist Party prosecuted.
Has there ever been an American politician more unfairly maligned than Joe McCarthy?
Here's a decent article on it, explaining why leftists in America have a higher opinion of Karl Marx and various Communist leaders than they do of an American patriot like Joe McCarthy.
Why I praise Sen. Joseph McCarthy - WND - WND
Quote from article:
"Back to McCarthy. As I revisit this tragic Promethean figure of the early 1950s, let us first answer two basic questions lucidly without emotion: 1) Did McCarthy find Communists, Communist sympathizers and Soviet spies in the State Department, in Hollywood, in the academy, in the literary world, in the military, in the media during his Senate committee hearings? 2) Does an unbiased account of history show that McCarthy abused his power? Yes on the first question, No, on the second.
Conservative political writer Ann Coulter said this of McCarthy and the 50 years of incessant demonization by the liberal propaganda press:
I know he got a bad rap because there are no monuments to Joe McCarthy. Liberals had to destroy McCarthy because he exposed the entire liberal establishment as having sheltered Soviet spies. … There’s always a conflict of interest when people who don’t really like America are called upon to defend it."
