And we can go back before that to Regan and Nixon et al.
Marxism is finished -- it's in ruins.
When terrorism doesn't scare people anymore, I guess the conservatives have to fall back on an oldie but goodie: communism.

And the good old fall back of conservative haters is just to try to convince people the devil doesn't exist. IT does, and has many faces.
It is now common knowledge that this administration was also running guns to Al Qaeda in an attempt to overthrow Assad of Syria. However, news of their gunrunning was beginning to leak and the source of the gunrunning had to be eliminated. That source was Ambassador Chris Stevens and the sensitive information that he held, unfortunately for Stevens, came only a couple of months prior to the 2012 presidential election. It is quite apparent that this administration felt that the evidence of their gunrunning trail must be totally obliterated and the only way to accomplish that was to arm Al Qaeda forces to assassinate Ambassador Stevens. These are not shocking revelations and I believe it’s likely that Congress knew the truth is far back as December of 2012. However, the congressional investigation did not succeed in their attempts at getting to the bottom of the Stevens murder. For more than a month Hillary Clinton refused to show up and testify. Other establishment figures were less than cooperative with regard to the congressional investigation. However, there is a clear and distinctive pattern of high command military awareness of this establishment’s murderous and treacherous actions which culminated in the death, the preventable death of Stevens and his bodyguard contingency.

To me, it sounds like propaganda to scare people.
"Oh noes! The big, bad, scary communists are everywhere! Where's J. Edgar Hoover when we need him! Look at what they want to do to us! Quick, we need McCarthy up in here otherwise we're going to go RED!"
Back then it was communists, today it's terrorists.
We always have to have a boogyman.

Filthy reds carried out the biggest genocide campaign in recorded history. Countless numbers of my people were slaughtered and raped. Make sure you chose the right side when the time comes again, because next time we wouldn't make the same mistakes.

How did McCarthy tie in with the Radulovich affair
How and Who proved Radulovich 'innocent' ?

Sounds good to me. We need someone to clean the sewer called Washington DC. Maybe we can bring in the same people that ran Detroit.

Why would it matter if there were communists in the government or not?
The shame of McCarthy wasn't that he was wrong (he was) but that he was jingoistic and dangerously nationalist.
It made a difference back then for sure.
Commies had already infiltrated the U.S. Government as well as State and Local. It started in the pre-WW1 1900's.
You should watch some of the hearings and observe how nervous many of the "guests" were when they had to lie after being asked that famous question.
"Are YOU now or have YOU ever been a member of the Communist Party ?"
THAT question had them jump'n like jack rabbits. McCarthy caught them while they were out of their holes.
Of course many lied and many actually never 'officially' joined because anonymity was paramount.
McCarthy did expose a lot.
The VENONA Project files, declassified in 1995, provided indisputable evidence that nearly all of those McCarthy accused were traitors to America. Not surprisingly, the media ignored these documents completely, instead choosing to run yet another round of anti-McCarthy propaganda

In any case, enjoy your echo chamber circle jerk that you folks have going in this thread.
So much for that Bill Ayers-Barack Obama friendship. Ayers, the 1960s radical from Chicago whom Republicans have often tried to link to Obama, says the president should be tried for "war crimes," and that his use of drones and other counterterrorism activities amount to "acts of terror."Text
