re: #442 Shiplord Kirel, live from behind wingnut lines

Ran across this less than surprising tidbit in the Venona article:

At least the Repubs have stopped harping that “McCarthy was right!”

I wonder why?/////

Possibly because the original gloating about “Oh, yeah, there really WERE Soviet spies!” kinda lost its luster when it turned out that Joe McCarthy was still full of shit for most of his claims. And that his Red-hunting circuses were still basically an ego/power trip.
