Why are we taught that McCarthy was wrong? Is it a conspiracy to keep people from calling out bother groups?

It's because at a certain point, accusations become stupid. If you accuse literally everything and everyone of being a Communist, it becomes a faggy buzzword that undermines the actual danger of Communist cells throughout the country.

But wasn't he right?

McCarthy did nothing wrong. He was more right than he will ever know.

He attacked hollywood, and of course they're going to hold a grudge against him in the media.

Yes, the left uses it as its own personal holocaust to deflect any and all criticism.

this was the first redpill i ever remember swallowing. Everyone in my class thought he was a bad goy for doing what he did and I naively defended him. People thought I was kinda edgy anyways, but little did I know...

ann coulter wrote a book on him

McCarthy kept commies fucking terrified, they were like Jews in the 1940s.

The Commie is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a scoundrel, parasite, swindler, profiteer, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a Commie and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”

mccarthy is a hero who should be cloned
we need him now
at what point do we say hey, we didn't say its ok to bring in refugees and we pay
nor illegals
fuuk off

aren't Jews responsible for the creation of communism anyways?

seems like he started accusing (wasn't wrong) the rich Hollywood plutocrats and started seeing through the productions as societal propaganda that was pro-communist and got major back blow from it because rich fucks who undermine the constitution etc, same rich fucks are still at it to this day and it's 100x worse fucking no one is told the truth about anything anymore

Because the scholarship was written for over 60 years by liberals. Conservatives totally cucked - as per their MO - and made no attempt to defend him until recently when the Venona Tapes got declassified. Even then, it's still established dogma of what a bad person he was. Even without Venona the evidence was overwhelming that Alger Hiss, Harry Dexter White, Lauchlin Currie, and the all the rest were working for Stalin.

You guys should read some of the so-called "history" of McCarthy before M. Stanton Evan BTFO'ed them all. It's nuts. Richard Rovere's book - which was the THE primary history book of McCarthy - literally called him a "demon" and a "devil". In what universe is that objective, scholarly history?

Other than "Culture of Critique" this pictured book should be required Sup Forums reading. Even expert historians of the Cold War found Evans' redemption of McCarthy extremely convincing.

Let's try this on you...

Faggot?

To allow cultural marxism to flourish. This is where the fucking degeneracy begins.

Fuck all these other fags. None of them will mention the venona files, which he likely had access to, nor the fact that no one was adversily effected. He named like 80 people total. He got a lot right

Owen Lattimore was convicted.

Marx was an ethnic Jew who's father converted to Christianity but his mother never did. There is no evidence he ever identified as a Jew and seemed to have extreme hostility towards Jews involved in fiance capitalism.

But ethnic Jews have always been the leaders of the Left, starting with the Bolsheviks.

But he didn't accuse everything and everyone. He accused what mostly turned out to be Communists based on evidence and who they affiliated with.

They literally were Jews

The encrypted messages obtained by VENONA project was only 3% decrypted, just think about that.

Because he was a conniving, lying asshole. He was correct in his assertions, but his methods were garbage and he was doing it for attention rather than because it was the right thing to do. Also, Jews.

>Because he was a conniving, lying asshole
>He was correct in his assertions

Why the fuck do you even come here reddit?

Read this and McCarthy and His Enemies by Buckley. McCarthy and His Enemies was written by Buckley before the Venona files were released.

Exactly. The damage these people did was catastrophic. It's not even open for debate: they helped Stalin take over Eastern Europe and Mao take over China. Harry Dexter White purposely cancelled a loan that would have stabilized Chaing Kai Shek's government's economy.

Diana West really believed that Harry Hopkins - FDR's version of Steve Bannon - was a Red working for Stalin. It's very likely he was mentioned in those tapes they couldn't decrypt.

The Buckley Book was based off of the Tydings Committee accusations, all of which were likely true. Even at the time everyone was accusing the Tydings Committee of a white wash when they ruled that McCarthy had no evidence. That ruling cost the Democrats the Congress and the White House in 1952.

He did have a tendancy to exaggerate his accusations for dramatic effect when it wasn't necessary. Also if you look at the hearings held on the Permanent Subcommittee of Government Investigations, he quite civil. No "bad methods" there.

Those aren't mutually exclusive statements, redditor pretending to be an oldfag.

Did he hurt your feelings or something?
