Em defesa de Joseph McCarthy

A União Soviética implodiu mas a propaganda soviética continua a dominar muita da historiografia, graças a uma peculiar combinação de ignorância, "argumentação" emocional e manipulação.

A propósito do filme "Good Night, and Good Luck", de George Clooney, Ann Coulter continua a desmontar o mito anti-McCarthy que a extrema esquerda laboriosamente construiu ao longo das últimas décadas. Só é pena que uma parte significativa da direita americana ainda não tenha acordado para a necessidade de seguir o seu exemplo...

ARE YOU NOW OR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN A SECOND-RATE FILMMAKER?

As noted here previously, George Clooney's movie "Good Night, and Good Luck," about pious parson Edward R. Murrow and Sen. Joseph McCarthy, failed to produce one person unjustly accused by McCarthy. Since I described McCarthy as a great American patriot defamed by liberals in my 2003 book, "Treason," liberals have had two more years to produce a person — just one person — falsely accused by McCarthy. They still can't do it.

Meanwhile, I can prove that Murrow's good friend Lawrence Duggan was a Soviet spy responsible for having innocent people murdered. The brilliant and perceptive journalist Murrow was not only unaware of the hundreds of Soviet spies running loose in the U.S. government, he was also unaware that his own dear friend Duggan was a Soviet spy — his friend on whose behalf corpses littered the Swiss landscape.###

Contrary to the image of the Black Night of Fascism (BNOF) under McCarthy leading to mass suicide with bodies constantly falling on the heads of pedestrians in Manhattan, Duggan was the only suicide. After being questioned by the FBI, Duggan leapt from a window. Of course, given the people he was doing business with, he may have been pushed.

After Duggan's death, Murrow, along with the rest of the howling establishment, angrily denounced the idea that Duggan could possibly have been disloyal to America.

Well, now we know the truth. Decrypted Soviet cables and mountains of documents from Soviet archives prove beyond doubt that Lawrence Duggan was one of Stalin's most important spies. "McCarthyism" didn't kill him; his guilt did.
