Wrong. While the left has spent 60+ years denouncing McCarthy, the truth is the federal bureacracy, the State Department and the US media were in fact infiltrated with numerous Soviet symphathizers and spies, just as McCarthy had charged. The people charged by McCarthy weren't just political opponents, but were actively collaborating with enemies of the United States. That isn't progressive politics, that's treason and punishable by law.
There is simply no excuse for not knowing this; declassified documents released after the fall of the Soviet Union confirmed the guilt of many such agents, including several who had been charged by McCarthy.
I'm not sure, are you saying freedom of speech keeps government agencies from doing their proper job of protecting the stupid from themselves?
