Joseph McCarthy on Democrats

"McCarthy generally, as an individual, was a liberal. He was, in economic philosophy and a lot of other things, extremeyl liberal." - Roy Cohn (McCarthy's cheif counsel)

"This war in which we are now engaged is not--cannot--be a war between America's two great political parties. As I have often said in the past, certainly the millions of loyal Americans who have long voted the Democrat ticket love America just as much and hate Communism just as much as the average Republican." - McCarthy speech to the Irish Fellowship Club, 1954

"As long as the jobs are available there will be Communists, either by infiltration or by incubation the emoluments and pomp which go with the political job will convert the meekest bureaucrat to the religion of Power. Hence, if Congres would destroy this creed, it must undo all the "social gains" which have been imposed on us in the past fifteen years. It must abolish the bureaus. If that were done, the devotees of Power would be reduced to soapbox oratory." -Frank Chodorov

"States' rights is your best defense against Communism!"-Dean Clarence Manion

@Bluedog309 "Typical of Tea Partier to stereotype"

Wow.. That's just... amazingly stupid. The irony is almost painful.

@gulbirk McCarthy did no such thing. Their own words and actions painted that picture, and the same picture exists today if you've got the intellectual honesty, don't close your eyes to the facts, and don't redefine terms so as to avoid the truth. In the U.S. "socialist" is somewhat of a dirty word, yet Leftists here push policies that ARE socialist and point at SOCIALISTS as role models... but when we point this out, they lie, equivocate, and use logical fallacies to disguise facts.

@happyuk06 its a Good Family time to see that the Same Scum bags then who were pointing fingers at people they didnt like and supported THE TRUE COMMIE McCarthy would still glady jump up and point more fingers today saying someone is UnAmerican for thinking they are free to think.

Your Hero died a drunk who lied to his Military Commanders and received false awards for lying about him him slipping on a mop bucket like some Third Stooge while he was safely at the base.
