Are people finally starting to realize McCarthy was actually right?

Its not that the communists werent in control
But when someone repping for the us government
A democracy as an expression of the people.
Says that these men are telling you things you might believe
But these things are bad for the country.
Telling us what WE THE PEOPLE ought to believe.
Fuck if the people wanted gommunism then they should be able to vote for it.
McCarthy said you dont get a vote
And that pissed some americans off.
>free speech means we should let foreign spies run around doing whatever they want
The crime isn't gommunism, it's taking marching orders from a hostile superpower.
>Abuses his power to bully his political rivals and threatens anybody who opposes him with accusations of being a commie
>Decides to openly declare a witch hunt when invesitgations were already underway to find Communist spies, send most to ground
>Blurred the lines between American citizens with opinions he didn't like and foreign agents actually trying to attack the country
He was a boorish idiot who did more harm than good and did so purely out of self-interest. McCarthy isn't hated for being a paranoid lunatic, he's hated for being a moron.
>turns out most of them were spies
That's bullshit and before you even think of saying "m-m-muh list" it says right at the top most of the connections and names are conjecture based on communications without any actual proof linking codenames to the people McCarthy named.
>DUDE JUST LET A FOREIGN ENEMY SPY ON YOU THATS PART OF THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS!
This is a common utterly retarded response I usually see in these types of threads to. Again, he never tried people for being communist, but for being agents of the USSR.
>turns out most of them were spies

>McCarthy isn't hated for being a paranoid lunatic, he's hated for being a moron.
McCarthyism is synonymous with a paranoid witch hunt, not with someone being pig headed. Leftist hate him specifically because he went after communist spies and every excuse to cover up this fact is becoming more and more transparent.
von Hoffman, his biggest critic, later confessed that McCarthy was closer to the truth than most of his opponents.
McCarthy was vindicated
I'm not seeing anything in that source which backs up your claim
Given NAFTA wasnt a thing yet.
And american busnisses were invested in america at that point from war bonds and whatnot.
Understand why they might want to vet employees working for boeing and shit.
But movies and tv propaganda is free speech.
That’s because there isn’t, his claim is pure idiocy. He won’t post the direct table of data because there are like two hundred names, about 8 of which were spies. Which is extremely unimpressive.
The thing is, as long as you aren't actually a spy, the government has no right to attack you for ideologically being a communist. The right to freedom of association is codified in the constitution.
He got ousted as a retard on live television.
this
commie are retards who wants a pipe dream i wont just imprison them for being wrong pricks
Also a raging alchy, don’t forget.
Why do you always post this? It's a whole page worth of fucking nothing.
There were some communists in the government, but McCarthy went way over the line.
>Ann Coulter

The horse was long out of the barn by the time McCarthy was ranting about it. Half of FDR's cabinet reported to Stalin, as Venona demonstrated.
Le McCarthy was a good guy meme
I notice Jews are pushing this now to protect their capitalist interests.
Fucking pathetic leftypol attempt to evoke le Jews because you’re still a binary brained retard who thinks if someone isn’t a commie, then they must be a neonazi
Kill yourself
What did she say that was factually wrong?
Venona papers didn't demonstrate a thing.
The government is completely justified in acting against seditious and traitorous groups. McCarthy's campaign against communism was waged without bullets or bombs, so don't give me any of that slippery slope shit either. America is a Republic, not a mob Democracy, the Fed does have the justified authority to protect itself and its people's rights.
You should be grateful it's not a byword for being a retarded potatonigger then
>The government is completely justified in acting against seditious and traitorous groups.
And how do we define sedition and betrayal?
Gee billy I dunno its not like we have documentation of the investigations and court actions carried out by the Fed against the individuals targeted by McCarthy, let's just assume its all evil and nebulous for the sake of making our slippery slope argument seem more valid!
>t. butthurt commie identified
>And how do we define sedition and betrayal?
undermining your own country at the behest of Stalin.
>Are people finally starting to realize McCarthy was actually right?
No, because guess who controls the public's perceptions of this event? That's right, Hollywood.
I'm not familiar with burger history, can anyone provide some examples of people McCarthy accused of being Communists who were found guilty of being Soviet spies?
He never actually shared his list with anybody, so nobody knows.
most of them weren't "spies" they were people who had some vague ties to "communist" or "socialist" groups. Some of them got some extra money from the USSR for promoting pro-USSR ideas. (the US did similar things at the time).
Got any names?
>We must stop the commies from overtaking us from the inside
>le Charlie Chaplin is an enemy of America
Nice Joe
The US deserved getting destroyed by communists a hundred times over. They fucked up the worldwide socialist movement in every way they could and are the primary agent of imperialism. Fuck off americucks
I wouldn't trust that faggot to find cat shit in a litter box.
>worldwide socialist movement
>a good thing
Please consider hanging yourself.
t. East European
How many people from his list were found to be communists?
Actual Charlie Chaplin or the Chaplin lookalike that killed six million Jews?
