Would Senator Joe McCarthy Be A Hero To Todays Conservatives?
Unfortunately, for the Right, Senator Joe McCarthy has been dead for decades. The relentless commie witch hunter spearheaded a frightfully anti-democratic era of American politics. Most of today’s Right avoids the word “communism” when talking about the current administration. My guess is that they use the word “socialism” because “communism” is too strong a suggestion to the McCarthy era. However, their tactics and strategies are very similar. If he was alive today, would the Right carry him on their shoulders?
