History shows that Joseph McCarthy was the model for demagogues like Glenn Beck and Pat Buchanan. He destroyed the lives of many good Americans. He achieved nothing of value, and died in disgrace.

McCarthy’s legacy is absolutely shameful.

It’s pretty sad that LGF commenters have swallowed the propaganda of the far right, to the point where they would post comments saying that “McCarthy was right.”

He was one of the worst politicians this country has ever produced.
