I certainly cannot say I have any opinion on McCarthy himself however I have read on more than one occasion from several high ranking KGB officials that his efforts hampered their efforts to infiltrate the US society significantly and that most Americans will never know how much he did to protect them (though I assume the opposite could be said about the Russians not knowing how many Americans he hurt in the process as well).

What's your definition of Leftist sympathy? I am curious.

Bit of a misplaced historical metaphor but I get your point.

A free press, however, is the cornerstone of a free society and it's the job of the press to keep those in power on their toes. If there's not friction between the two, then the press is not doing its job.

The 1976 Book of Lists cited Richard Nixon as #1 among "the most hated men of all time." However, Hitler beat him out for "the most evil man of all time." That's really saying something when we consider that the same century hosted such guardians of the downtrodden as Josef Stalin, Mao Zedong and Pol Pot. Hell of a body-count, those three. The findings were based on data compiled by the New York Times. Shows what becomes of fellas who get on the wrong side of the progressive media.

Well, if it was published in 1976, yeah, I can kind of see how that conclusion could be reached, in fact, the entire book was probably geared towards coming to that conclusion- sort of like watching a Friday the 13th movie where Jason is chasing some poor teenage girl through the dark woods and she falls and he hacks her to pieces- yeah, didn't see that coming!!! {sm4}

Sorry Brad but as far as the press we see what a joke it is.Major stories not put on the major networks,not checking their facts,completely biased.

People who pretend to accept everything,everybody and free speech as long you agree with them.We seen their acceptance of people and ideas on college campuses.If you ask what I consider myself I would say a little right of center.I believe in treating people like I want to be treated and don't like to see people suffer.I believe in helping people.I hope we are able to get healthcare for everybody that's affordable but I am disgusted with Congress (all of them) for not sitting down together and hammering something out.Their political parties are more important to them than Americans.I don't believe in people laying around on welfare and food stamps because their too lazy to work.I don't believe in illegal aliens coming here and jump on welfare,I don't believe in sanctuary cities.I work with a diverse group people,white,hispanic,black, (no asians yet:smile2,women,gays,lesbians and we all get along very well.The common thread between us is we are all working people.
