McCarthy was a goddamned hero and a true patriot. He ruined his entire professional career in what can equate to a Paul Revere style warning. Let’s not disrespect the man knowing what we now know—but I do understand what you’re saying. Instead of one man it’s a whole civilian army this time

This.. is news to me. Before you go and downvote, I want to put out I am trying to learn here.

I am class of 2006. Everything I heard about McCarthy was he simply used the Red Scare for political purposes. If that is untrue... where's the best place I can unfuck what I was taught? I never seen anythibg positive about him online til now.
