It is a matter of record that McCarthy was right. His methods were, perhaps, not to our taste, but the US was fighting a war against communism and was infested with it within. We took less notice of the threat and ended up with paid KGB operatives Benn and Wilson in government.
Of course, as I pointed out the other week on here, McCarthy was absolutely right. The State Department and Hollywood were absolutely crawling with communists. He did a good job imo.
Just because the left has successfully turned him into a bogeyman doesn't mean he wasn't abso-fücking-lootly spot on.
Actually happened to me in my second year - tutorials at 6pm on a Monday and Thursday in US involvement in the Pacific 1936-51. **** that - there were films on that and everything. I had already decided a history degree wasn't exactly going to get me far in life. Still passed the exam
