After seeing this my only question is where is Joe McCarthy when we need him the most.
You mentioned McCarthy. The man, aside from being a drunk, was more or less on the money. People who slam "McCarthy and so called McCarthyism" need only look at America today in direct coparison to that of which McCarthy lived. Comparing Diamonds and Charrah...
There are two very good books on this subject:
"
Joseph McCarthy: Reexamining the Life and Legacy of America's Most Hated Senator" - Arthur Herman
"
Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America's Enemies" - M. Stanton Evans
