You evidently are the one who needs to read up on history. You clearly did not read the Venona Papers, which do not vindicate him. Out of the hundreds of people who he accused, only a few dozen were actually proven to be communists. And they were small potatos at that. What about the other hundreds or people who lives he ruined based on nothing, who's names are NOT in the papers? Joesph McCarthy was in it on his own agenda. He was a traitor to his country and so are you if you side with him.

Read about Annie Lee Moss. He essentially was having a "witch hunt" in the U.S. For God's sake!! He accused Lucille Ball of being a communist!! He was a nut and because of him, many people lost their jobs for no reason.

Thanks Keban. Typical dumb anti-McCarthy attack. If all those people were falsely investigated by McCarthy with no credible evidence, why can't people name 1. Name 1 person falsely investigated by McCarthy, just 1!

McCarthy is a loser!

Liberals, still waiting for one REAL example of someone falsely investigated by McCarthy, just 1! You can't. Stop smearing McCarthy.

Given that history has proven Liberals actually did to McCarthy everything they falsely accused McCarthy of doing, I think a new word should be used to replace McCarthyism to describe the act of making baseless accusations. Given that it is overwhelmingly liberals who continue to make false claims about McCarthy with no evidence to support their assertaionss, my vote is for the word "liberalism".

Right. Lucy registered as a communist supporter in the 30s - supposedly to satisfy the dying wishes of her dear old grandad. McCarthy had absolutely nothing to do with this coming out in the 50s. Another unfounded accusation/smear about old Joe..spread by those righteous seekers after truth the McCarthy haters, who disapprove of the fiendish Wisconsinite because, they say, he made unfounded accusations/ smeared people.

[rollwave16]

Truth denying liberals, please put up or shut up. Name1 person MCCARTHY falsely investigated, just 1! Stop saying McCarthy smeared Lucille Ball. He had nothing whatsoever to do with Lucille Ball. Post evidence or stop making baseless accusations against McCarthy.

Hey, she did have red hair! Proof!

It was mainly the administrations that lied and were dangerous. They ignored warnings and evidence. They promoted identified agents and security risks. The FDR and Truman administrations brushed aside information that the likes of Hiss and White were major Soviet infiltrators. They covered up over the Amerasia scandal, which allowed Service to continue as a "China hand" for the State department. McCarthy helped expose the Justice dept Amerasia cover up.

McCarthy never imprisoned anyone. Senators don't imprison people. Those who tell you this stuff are ignorant or lying to you. As your own sources have lied to you, question their value as sources.

Perfectly legitimate for the committee tasked with looking into government operations - especially in relation to odd decisions by loyalty boards not seeming to do their jobs properly. There was plenty of evidence, and that does not mean just a CP membership, it meant reasonable grounds/ later reasonable doubt over an individual in a government post - often scandalously ignored during the FDR and Truman presidencies (Hiss, White, Service etc) . The east europeans and Chinese felt the results.
