I like to think it is because Americans value free expression, and find the idea of persecution aimed at political affiliation to be repugnant
If that's true, it does seem a bit selective, though
sage. Americans believe in free speech and the like. If some folks happened to be communists, so what? The Cold War might shape things a certain paranoid way, but at the end of the day we have a man claiming nonsense on the basis of a briefcase he won't reveal. I have evidence of traitors of to America and out way of life...
I just won't show it.
McCarthy was lying, intimidating bully.
The Truman administration had done a remarkably good job of weeding out spies and infiltrators.
McCarthy was the dark side of "americanism".
>nonsense
?
These, not exactly, but kinda.
The funny thing is the guy's right.
America's been infiltrated (I don't really want to use this word but idk what else to use) by communists way before WWII even began, well at least by marxists and the like.
And those marxists and communists are very influential even today, some great examples are the Neocons who were trotskyites back in 30s and George Soros who funds Black Lives Matter.

He was horrifically wrong, that list he talked about (which launched his career) which had all those names of communist infiltrators never existed. Just take a look at how many people were actually convicted as a result of them.
The FBI and State Department already knew about the real risk and were working on dealing with communist infiltration in the Government and public at large.
Funnily enough when his 2IC started abusing his power to literally favour his homosexual lover and he was brought to trial on it his defence was that the army was only doing this because they were being run by communists who feared his work
>In 1950 McCarthy assaulted journalist Drew Pearson in the cloakroom of a Washington club, reportedly kneeing him in the groin. McCarthy, who admitted the assault, claimed he merely "slapped" Pearson.[60] In 1952, using rumors collected by Pearson, Nevada publisher Hank Greenspun wrote that McCarthy was a homosexual. The major journalistic media refused to print the story, and no notable McCarthy biographer has accepted the rumor as probable.[61] In 1953, McCarthy married Jean Kerr, a researcher in his office. He and his wife adopted a baby girl, whom they named Tierney Elizabeth McCarthy, in January 1957.
No, you're bullshitting. The list never existed? That's an odd claim, do you have evidence?
We need a word filter to change Soros to Costanza
