was this faggot right? if so source

He was right about communists infiltrating the government. The thing was, though, that everybody knew they were there, just that nobody knew exactly who they were, including him. He essentially staged a massive political theater that hurt hundreds of people for basically a power grab.

communist LARPers detected. He literally did nothing wrong and hollywood is still being a cry baby because he blew the fuck out of limousine liberals who thought it would be fun to flirt with communism and rooting against America.

He made it so people had a hard time finding work and they act like hes the worst person in history, while of course defending communist despot #1453 despite his death squads

There's a book by the 20th-century political history specialist at the National Archive (who's name I can't remember) that delves into comparing McCarthy with the Venona Decrypts and yes McCarthy was very much right. His issue is that he was very brutish in his methods which turned people off.

>just that nobody knew exactly who they were, including him
Actually, that's untrue. A little over half of all people named by McCarthy were named in the Venona Decrypts. He was batting far better than the NSA/FBI who named 9 correctly after McCarthy outed them.
