<<I can't remember the name of the fellow that brought down Joseph McCarthy, but I remember what he said: "Have you no shame, sir? Have you NO shame?" >>

It was Joseph Welch, one of the Attorneys for one of the accused:

"Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"

Interesting sidebar on that. McCarthy and his two closest investigators all died relatively young and/or painfully:

McCarthy died at 48, of alcoholism

His lead attorney, Roy Kohn, died of AIDS in his early 60s I believe.

His junior staffer was assassinated in 1968 in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, after just having won the CA Democratic Presidential Primary.

I'll bet few of you conservatives knew that anti-war, liberal Robert F. Kennedy was actually a fanatical anti-Communist.
