Rambling morphine addict never did produce those lists of Soviets in the State Dept.

Held woke ideological purity trials, forcing entertainers and such to publicly denounce and inform on friends. Black List was right-wing cancel culture.

Fuck McCarthy.

Sorry, you don't know any of the facts. Or, if you do, you are lying.

He didn't hold any ideological purity trials. He conducted investigations into whether there were Communists inside the government.

He didn't force entertainers...etc....His investigations were into GOVERNMENT subversion.

He didn't ramble. Your source for his morphine addiction? Anslinger doesn't count, since he said that he, himself, gave some to M, after demanding that he stop. Shit source.

He didn't start the Black list.

Do you even know who Joe McCarthy was??

Inquisitions covered govt, also anyone who worked in Hollywood or anywhere else. Cancel culture writ large. His cohorts in the House managed that part. All part of the same red scare movement. video evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJzV6-wJ3SQ

read Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America's Enemies a 2007 book by author M. Stanton Evans

Head of the FBI and several agents admitted that the agency supplied the alcoholic junkie with his fixes. I'll take that testimony over your hand waving dismissal.

โ€œAgents who worked under [Anslinger] claim that the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy was addicted to morphine and regularly obtained his narcotics through a druggist near the White House, authorized by Anslinger to fill the prescription,โ€ Maxine Cheshire wrote.

Speaking of facts, maybe you can link to that list of Soviets in the Sate Dept., McCarthy never released. You cite no facts, only your denials and opinions.

at long last, have you no shame?
