yes, McCarthy was evil. regardless if his intentions were good, he was a bully, over-exaggerating his cause for his own political gain. and Mandel had the balls to stand up to him.
nowadays, it's commonly known that McCarthy was a quack. you can idolize him if you like, but it shows bad judgment on your part.
By attacking the US Constitution's First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech & association (ie: equating membership in the US Communist Party with treason), McCarthy demonstrated that the USA was as much of a conformist dictatorship as was the USSR.
thanks for putting this video up. shows what a evil person McCarthy and his thugs were. very interesting stuff. i think William Mandel must feel somewhat vindicated knowing he's still alive and McCarthy and Cohn both died the way they did.
The Smith Act was used firstly against the Socialist Workers Party which were an anti-Stalinist, Marxist group. The Act was conceived in order to undemocratically remove the elected leaders of the Teamsters union in Minneapolis who were leading a general strike to unionize the city. The Communist Party at that time (1940) fully supported the use of the Smith Act to prosecute the SWP as they were supporters of Stalins number one opponent Leon Trotsky.
I read that Harry Anslinger (Killer Weed, Reefer Madness, etc.) supplied McCarthy with morphine from the evidence locker? Is that true? would explain the witch hunter mentality.
Really? I didn't know that. Where can one learn about all of this? Can anyone recommend any books about Joe McCarthy, the Communist Party (USA), and/or the hearings?
