A POST BOMBSHELL: JOE McCARTHY WAS RIGHT!
Coffee cups rattled all over Washington on Sunday morning, April 14, when The Washington Post ran a headline which, although cast as a question, conservatives never imagined would appear in that paper: "Was McCarthy Right About the Left?"
One-time radical Post columnist Nicholas von Hoffman, now a freelance writer, went on to give a qualified "yes and no" to the question, acknowledging that the recent gush of information from old Soviet and U.S. intelligence archives make plain the extent of spying by Americans who worked for Moscow.

Scholars: Joseph McCarthy's charges 'now accepted as fact'

WASHINGTON -- Although Joseph McCarthy was one of the most demonized American politicians of the last century, new information -- including half-century-old FBI recordings of Soviet embassy conversations -- are showing that McCarthy was right in nearly all his accusations.
"With Joe McCarthy it was the losers who've written the history which condemns him," said Dan Flynn, director of Accuracy in Academia's recent national conference on McCarthy, broadcast by C-SPAN.
Using new information obtained from studies of old Soviet files in Moscow and now the famous Venona Intercepts -- FBI recordings of Soviet embassy communications between 1944-48 -- the record is showing that McCarthy was essentially right. He had many weaknesses, but almost every case he charged has now been proven correct. Whether it was stealing atomic secrets or influencing U.S. foreign policy, communist victories in the 1940s were fed by an incredibly vast spy and influence network.

As far as i can tell it was a brave-new-world-esque attempt to surpress any media that challenge state sanctioned values.
No it was an attempt to prevent the Soviets union from being successful in it's plan to bury us. It was a time of war.
The left, which were the true evil in all this, have manage to rewrite history, once again, to make themselves appear to be the victems when in fact they were the perpitrators. You will note that even with the evidence we now have that McCarthy was at the least mostly right, George Clooney completely ignored this in his trashing of him in his latest movie.
For example Arthur Miller wrote plays like "The Death Of a Salesman" that questioned the way people though and got deported for it [cant have people thinking independantly can we now?] As far as i know
he wasnt sponcerd by moscow.
Who on earth told you Miller was deported?
