Senator
Joseph McCarthy was a complete
moron who wouldn't have been able to spot a
Communist on
May Day in
Red Square if one had walked up to him waving a
red flag and handed him the
Little Red Book of
Quotations from Chairman Mao.
The fact that a few of the people he and his committee destroyed had sold secrets to the
Soviet Union gives testimony to the
Texas maxim "If you go spraying buckshot around, you're liable to hit something". Far, far more
innocent people were destroyed.
