<Senator Joe McCarthy was......on the right side of history and........of morality as well.>

The rehabilitation of McCarthy makes perfect sense, in the current political climate.
We will be the global champion of Freedom, by enforcing RightThinking.

Excellent detailed column on a subject dear to our hearts, John. You will dismiss it out of hand. I think it is right on. NRO

You made me work too hard to figure out who wrote this nonsense. I read some of the NRO stuff but I don't take Jonah Goldberg seriously at all.

You have that precisely right.

Senator Joe McCarthy was a lout, generally speaking. But he was on the right side of history and, in a broad sense, of morality as well.

No, he wasn't. Witchhunts aren't right -- not even if there are witches. McCarthy destroyed scores of innocent people.
