Just because you don't agree with them, or what they support, does not make them or those things communist.

Words actually mean things.

You are right. I don't like orange cars. And orange cars are not communist.

But the folks on that list are some of the scum political crap of America.

Their words mean things. And by golly I have no problem telling them, and their supporters, that they are bottom feeders. And then some.

It's funny you claim to follow the Constitution and then make a comment like that which if acted upon would be unconsitutional. Irony at it's best.

Do you think there is a constitutional provision that prevents tarring and feathering slimy politicians? Show me.

It may be a local crime but it is not unconstitutional. And you just might get a kick out of it.
 
I noticed that one of the women on the list was Ross Perot's first choice to run as VP on his ticket. Didn't realize Perot was a commie sympathizer!

Oh, I don't know. Who one the election that year? One thing for sure, he was a crazy old coot.

Besides, the asshole involved must not have read McCarthy's biography all the way to the end.

Spoiler alert: he was censured by Congress and died within the year of alcohol-related disease.

But of course that doesn't change the fact he was right. The question of whether there were spies in the State Department during the time which McCarthy was saying there were, has been proven true. We know now that Stalin new about the Manhattan project before FDR did.

So you can say all you want about McCarthy, about how he lived and what happened to him at death and on and on and on... doesn't make a bit of difference. He was still absolutely correct.

He was a paranoid, delusional drunk who destroyed thousands of lives on the basis of flimsy evidence, rumor, and innuendo.

Again...

Were there spies in the State Department? Yes, the facts are there were. So the delusional drunk, was remarkably accurate.

As for the 'thousands of lives' that were destroyed by him on flimsy evidence, name one. Remember, McCarthy had nothing to do with the House Committee on Un-American Activities. McCarthy was a Senator. Not a member of the House.

The bottom line is, he was still right. You can say whatever you want as many times as you want, it still changes nothing. McCarthy was right. There were spies in the State Department, and it's a documented fact. Nothing you ever say will change that.

It's amazing how pathetic they get. Saying the same thing over and over, and yet oddly, the repeated mantra still doesn't seem to change the facts. It's almost like truth doesn't change when you repeat false statements again and again. I guess it depends on how you define "is", and "alone" and so on.

He was wrong a hell of a lot more than he was right. Even the revisionist historian who's trying to vindicate McCarthy only claims that nine of the 159 people he investigated were actually involved with the Soviets.

And of course McCarthy isn't the only one who was looking into espionage activity. Many say that McCarthy actually harmed the effort to unearth Soviet spies because he turned the whole thing into a partisan witch hunt.

There's a reason he's one of the most reviled politicians in American history.

Are you suggesting that no good investigator ever investigates people who are not the perp? When there's a murder investigation, they investigate absolutely everyone who is involved. They'll investigate the spouse, the kids, the in-laws, the guy who delivered the pizza that night, everyone.

So he investigated 151 people that were not working for Stalin to find the 9 who were?.... really?..... ** WELL NO DUH!!! **

Good. I'm only wishing he had investigated even more. When a foreign government has infiltrated the US government I personally want them to investigate EVERYBODY!!!

So that criticism doesn't really mean jack to me.

Second, yes, undoubtedly McCarthy investigating spies in the government is going to politicize it. Well duh. When the government investigates anything, it becomes political. Does that mean we shouldn't investigate it?

There is no doubt that when the political left rallied to defend the communist spies in their midst, that some escaped. Of course. But the alternative is just to allow it to continue. No, no thanks. It's not like the left would not have defended absolutely anything. We saw how scummy the left was with Clinton. It was more than obvious he committed perjury, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and a number of other crimes. Yet they defended him right to the very end.

So McCarthy politicized it. I don't care. I'd rather go down fighting it, than letting the scummy left walk all over us. If McCarthy had not been there to fight the good fight, the spies would NEVER have been removed. They would have been in our government till the 90s when the Soviets fell apart.

You're missing a few important points (and saying "well duh" which makes you sound like an idiot): one -- the FBI was already investigating communist espionage. McCarthy's efforts were counterproductive. And two, by putting on a dog and pony show, McCarthy ruined the lives of hundreds of innocent people.

No what was counter productive was the Democrats demanding that McCarthy "name names" even before a serious investigation was underway. In fact they are doing the same thing now with Allen West, before any investigation has even begun.

If that were true, that just 9 out of 159 were spying for a foreign government (the most murderous in world history btw) how many Nazi spies do you think should have been allowed? Or Fascist spies?

Since this successful infiltration by the Communists into the workings of the American government it has been an American tradition among the left, and it is repeating itself today, that when it comes to taking sides between enemies against America, and American citizens, they will side with the enemy.

There isn't going to be any investigation into West's insane accusation, because it is patently insane.

McCarthy was a shameless publicity hound and self promoter who ruined hundreds of lives for no reason.

Yep, I served in the Army for 20 years because I sided with the enemy :roll:

What ridiculous nonsense you spew and only shows how clueless you really are. It must suck to be you when you are filled with so much hate. Oh but you're just a fuzzy foreigner so it doesn't really matter.

Yes, that's what was said about Joe McCarthy until the Venona papers revealed he was correct. Like all Leftists you don't know whether these charges are correct or not (though perhaps you do and just deny) but you do want to vilify anyone who would make the accusation. It's all ad hominem, which has been the Leftist MO since the Communists took charge in Russia.

Yes, here we go again, despite his being right.

Hundreds of lives? Really? In fact hundreds of lives were not ruined, and the publicity surrounding his charges deserved publicity. This is just more leftist hyperbole and denial. Having communist spies in the highest levels of the American government and working for a foreign government, is no small matter. Particularly when that government was the most murderous in the history of mankind.

And no reason?

We already know there were communist spies and sympathizers in the government and positions of power. Was it not a good idea to point this out?

It seems you are not only unfamiliar with American history but Communist history as well.

Hate? Who do I hate?

I easily shrug off ad hominem attacks because they always and unfailing represent an inferior intelligence.
