I was lucky. I went to a private school and learned history from a non partisan historian and what I learned, in general is that too much government control is a very bad thing, the worst thing.
Example; Adolf Hitler had too much government control.
No one can disagree with that.

Awwwwww, Frankie has an uncle Adolf........
While the New Deal didn't save the economy like the war did, it certainly eased the suffering throughout the country. Remember the crash started in Oct 1929. FDR didn't take office till 1933.

The trials, which were well publicized, could often destroy a career with a single unsubstantiated accusation. Among those well-known artists accused of communist sympathies or called before the committee were Dashiell Hammett, Waldo Salt, Lillian Hellman, Lena Horne, Paul Robeson, Elia Kazan, Arthur Miller, Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, Charlie Chaplin and Group Theatre members Clifford Odets, Elia Kazan, and Stella Adler. In all, three hundred and twenty artists were blacklisted, and for many of them this meant the end of exceptional and promising careers.
During this time there were few in the press willing to stand up against McCarthy and the anti-Communist machine. Among those few were comedian Mort Sahl, and journalist Edward R. Murrow, whose strong criticisms of McCarthy are often cited as playing an important role in his eventual removal from power.

Comparing either party to the fascist nazi is just lazy, might as well call Watergate a simple botched burglary.
See how completely brainwashed they become?
FDR meant well while crushing the life out of US industry, so yeah he's OK
McCarthy had NOTHING to do with the HUAC.
NOTHING!!
He was a Senator. He had NOTHING to do with the Committee that started years before he even made his first speech
And moreover, he was totally correct that genuine Communist spies were active in the White House and State Department

Apparently Frank is over 100 years old and has an intimate knowledge of this subject.
Or even more likely he's a brain dead hack who enjoys the conservative's favorite past time of re-writing history.

Hey Balls, better get rid of those guns in your avi......or Obama will send the ATF after you.
Well, thanks for citing PBS as an unbiased historical reference. Most of the people you mentioned were communist sympathizers at a time when the Soviet Union was bent on world domination through military (nuclear) intimidation. Why didn't you mention the persecution of the poor Rosenbergs by Tricky Dick? Oh, I forgot: They were later confirmed by KGB files to be Soviet spies.
320 artist were blacklisted and many were not sympathizers as has been proven. Why were the hearings shut down again?
McCarthy was a drunken demigogue, and should have died much sooner for the good of the nation.
However much the rightwingnuts try to rewrite history, the vast majority of Americans realize the debt we owe to FDR for his work in alleviating the misery of the First Great Republican Depression.
If you're like me you were subject to the disinformation campaign known as public school. We learned that: the New Deal saved the economy, Joe McCarthy's House unamerican activities committee blacklisted Hollywood actors and Hitler was a right winger
Well the New Deal terrified businessman and was totally responsible for an economy worse that the 7 Biblical lean years, McCarthy was right that Communist spies were subverting US policy and finally the Left has warmly welcome back socialist and gun control advocate Adolf Hitler as their long lost elder brother

rule of thumb, frank. if an o/p likens the president to hitler... it should be in the flame zone.
thanks.
As chief of Justice Department spy prosecutions for nearly 25 years, John L. Martin prosecuted 76 spies, including CIA officers Aldrich Ames and Harold J. Nicholson, Navy warrant officer John A. Walker Jr., and Israeli spy Jonathan Jay Pollard.
With his unlimited clearances, Martin read many of the FBIs most secret raw files on historic espionage cases, including the files on Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Judith Coplon, Alger Hiss, and Rudolph Abel. No one knows as much about catching spies and the legal ramifications that go with it than Martin.
While VENONA later confirmed and expanded upon what the FBI knew about Soviet operations in the U.S., McCarthy was acting on suspicions and myths rather than adequate investigations, Martin tells me.
McCarthy used the umbrella of national security to justify his outrageous practice of besmirching reputations of loyal Americans, Martin adds.
Efforts to vindicate McCarthy by people who have never caught a spy ignore the fact that rather than helping the cause of dealing with the spy threat, he harmed it.
By sanctioning McCarthys intimidating tactics and dishonest charges against innocent Americans, revisionists dangerously invite history to be repeated, imperiling all of us.

Mao or Stalin work as well, but the Left has taken Socialist and gun control advocate Uncle Adolf back into their welcoming arms
Reading Frank's posts like this one almost makes me wish I was bat shit crazy like him. It looks like it's really fun to be a nutter casting blame on things that frighten me, making up history as I go and never taking any semblance of responsibility. I think I'm going to just start acting like one of these fucking loons because it looks super fun.
John F. Kennedy got in a time machine and had homosexual sex with Attilla the Hun in a liberal plot to subvert our water supply! Prove me wrong you motherfucking libertards!

Joseph McCarthy as a Senator did not participate in a House Committee. He headed the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations in 1953 and 1954, and during that time used it for a number of his Communist-hunting investigations.
To be sure, intercepts of secret Soviet communications that were part of the VENONA program eventually revealed that Soviet espionage operatives in the government numbered in the hundredsfar more than was thought in the 1950s. In that sense, McCarthy was right, but so were dozens of other anti-Communists of the time like FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.
The problem was that the people McCarthy tarnished as Communists or Communist sympathizers were not the real spies. Often, the information McCarthy used came from FBI files, which were full of rumor and third-hand accounts.
Several months before he died, I interviewed Robert J. Lamphere who participated in all the FBIs major spy cases during the McCarthy period.
McCarthyism did all kinds of harm because he was pushing something that wasnt so, Lamphere told me. The VENONA intercepts showed that over several decades, There were a lot of spies in the government, but not all in the State Department, Lamphere said. However, The problem was that McCarthy lied about his information and figures. He made charges against people that werent true. McCarthyism harmed the counterintelligence effort against the Soviet threat because of the revulsion it caused."
The Real Story on Joe McCarthy[/QUOTE
You have unwittingly demonstrated the inverse logic of the Left: They are not to blame for their lackadaisical attitude toward Communist infiltration, it was McCarthy's fault for making them feel revolted! This would have been good material for Laugh In ("the devil made me do it") if it wasn't so true.
