So the documents prove that Joseph McCarthy accused a lot of people of being communists, Marxists, socialists or radicals of one kind of another.
So what? Everyone understands and knows about his witch-hunting smear campaign and methods. Nothing new here at all.
Lots of people were called communists. And some were communists or Marxists of one kind of another.
Big Deal! Who cares? I've known self-described communists and have debated them! I didn't hide under my bed afraid of them thinking they were super-secret spies, foreign government agents, mad bombers and other such nonsense.
Perhaps you should read some literature on the long radical history of the United States and the history of radicals in the United States. People who do that are better informed and not so paranoid. Most people just don't accept right-wing "political correctness". And most of us who do not blindly follow the right-wing version of "political correctness" are not radicals or communists! And those that are radicals, socialists or even communists have a right to their point of view just as much as right-wingers including the neo-fascists within their ranks. The Bill of Rights is not reserved solely for the right-wing in America.
