Your great experience in such matters is noted (yet again).

MCCARTHYISM: THE ROSETTA STONE OF LIBERAL LIES

November 7, 2007


When I wrote a ferocious defense of Sen. Joe McCarthy in Treason: Liberal
Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism , liberals chose not to
argue with me. Instead they posted a scrolling series of reasons not to read
my book, such as that I wear short skirts, date boys, and that "Treason" was
not a scholarly tome.


After printing rabidly venomous accounts of McCarthy for half a century based
on zero research, liberals would only accept research presenting an
alternative view of McCarthy that included, as the Los Angeles Times put it,
at least the "pretense of scholarly throat-clearing and objectivity."


This week, they got it. The great M. Stanton Evans has finally released
Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His
Fight Against America's Enemies . Based on a lifetime's work, including
nearly a decade of thoroughgoing research, stores of original research and
never-before-seen government files, this 672-page book ends the argument on
Joe McCarthy. Look for it hidden behind stacks of Bill Clinton's latest
self-serving book at a bookstore near you.


Evans' book is such a tour de force that liberals are already preparing a
"yesterday's news" defense -- as if they had long ago admitted the truth
about McCarthy. Yes, and they fought shoulder to shoulder with Ronald Reagan
to bring down the Evil Empire. Thus, Publishers Weekly preposterously claims
that "the history Evans relates is already largely known, if not fully
accepted." Somebody better tell George Clooney.


The McCarthy period is the Rosetta stone of all liberal lies. It is the
textbook on how they rewrite history -- the sound chamber of liberal
denunciations, their phony victimhood as they demean and oppress their
enemies, their false imputation of dishonesty to their opponents, their
legalization of every policy dispute, their ability to engage in lock-step
shouting campaigns, and the black motives concealed by their endless
cacophony.


The true story of Joe McCarthy, told in meticulous, irrefutable detail in
"Blacklisted by History," is that from 1938 to 1946, the Democratic Party
acquiesced in a monstrous conspiracy being run through the State Department,
the military establishment, and even the White House to advance the Soviet
cause within the U.S. government.


In the face of the Democrats' absolute refusal to admit to their
fecklessness, fatuity and recklessness in allowing known Soviet spies to
penetrate the deepest levels of government, McCarthy demanded an accounting.


Even if one concedes to on-the-one-hand-on-the-other-hand whiners like Ronald
Radosh that Truman's Secretary of State Dean Acheson didn't like communism,
his record is what it was. And that record was to treat Soviet spies like
members of the Hasty Pudding Club.


Rather than own up to their moral blindness to Soviet espionage, Democrats
fired up the liberal slander machine, which would be deployed again and again
over the next half century to the present day. In hiding their own perfidy,
liberals were guilty of every sin they lyingly imputed to McCarthy. There
were no "McCarthyites" until liberals came along.


Blacklisted by History proves that every conventional belief about McCarthy
is wrong, including:


-- That he lied about his war service: He was a tailgunner in World War II;


-- That he was a drunk: He would generally nurse a single drink all night;


-- That he made the whole thing up: He produced loads of Soviet spies in
government jobs;


-- That he just did it for political gain: He understood perfectly the
godless evil of communism.


Ironically, for all of their love of conspiracy theories -- the rigging of
the 2000 election, vote suppression in Ohio in 2004, 9/11 being an inside
job, oil companies covering up miracle technology that would allow cars to
run on dirt, Britney Spears' career, etc., etc. -- when presented with an
actual conspiracy of Soviet spies infiltrating the U.S. government, they
laughed it off like world-weary skeptics and dedicated themselves to
slandering Joe McCarthy.


Then as now, liberals protect themselves from detection with wild calumnies
against anybody who opposes them. They have no interest in -- or aptitude for
-- persuasion. Their goal is to anathematize their enemies. Blacklisted by
History removes the curse from one of the greatest patriots in American
history.
