A bit overzealous? "If you want to be against McCarthy, boys, you've got to be either a Communist or a cocksucker." - Senator Joseph McCarthy

  Unfortunately McCarthy wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, the gay stuff was particularly silly. On the other hand he was 100% right about the CPUSA, about soviet spies infiltrating the government, etc. Between Venona and the Soviet intelligence archives we know that he was spot on. The much-maligned HUAC even found the Soviets' most valued asset, Alger Hiss. So yeah, a bit overzealous. The whole circus didn't last long, anyway.

    Again, silly isn't the word I'd use here, however I guess, given you are also busy slandering Ray Bradbury as a Stalin apologist based on not properly reading a very short article, it is a bit petty in context to be too annoyed about your continual abuse of serious understatement.

    Fortunately! He could have done a lot more damage if he was sharper and it would have taken longer for his contemporaries to come to their senses. Ditto Hitler.

    you mean just like rape is a bit of surprise sex and typically doesn't last very long anyways, right ?
