McCarthy as an American Hero

I have received no small amount of blowback from many of you complaining about the fact that I am not giving just due to Sen. Joseph McCarthy.

I think McCarthy was no less a bully - using his position to demand impossible answers from defenseless witnesses - than Chuck Schumer or Henry Waxman are today.

To those who believe McCarthy to have been an American hero, please send info regarding the next Joe McCarthy Annual Awards Dinner.

Oh, there isn't one?

I'm surprised.

Rich, I suspect folks are dragging out McCarthy as a hero as an effort to have a sacred figure, a la Martin Luther King when they bash people over the head with their PC bullying regarding global warming, Bush is wrong, bad, etc., health care and abortions are both rights and such common opinions. Even among educated scientists who privately have their own doubts about global warming, for instance, there's hesitation to even question Gore. Its as if they have suspended their own scientific conclusions in fear of the wrath of the PC McCarthyists.
