Surely Jim Henderson doesn't
really beliee that McCarthy's "information turned out obe impeccable" even if
one concedes, arguendo, that there was indeed some Soviet spying going on.
Has anyone ever defended, for example, the accuracy of his Wheeling speech ("I
have in my hand a list of [I forget the exact number] of communists"), for
starters?

I will call the Democrat Party the Democrat Party. Truth is, I only
pretend to be saluting McCarthy, whose information turned out to be impeccable
even if his personality and ethic did not. My pretense was offered
because, in pointing out the McCarthy connection Marty, deliberately or
not, stains with the broad brush of "McCarthyism" folks whose use of the
label had nothing to do either with a devotion to the truth that took the
dismantling of the USSR to confirm or with the politics of personal
destruction that the Senator employed.
