A lot of people grovelled to McCarthy in those days, and the words of the lawyer of someone who made a narrow escape have little to no weight.
I see, so anyone who had anything good to say about McCarthy must be a bad person or misguided? Or a groveller. Or a crawler, lackey, sycophant, toady, etc.

Which would make JFK a crook or a fool, or was he a groveller too? What was it he said..."a great American patriot"

He's a bad man!
Anyone who say's anything good about him is also bad (or misguided if we like them!)
All evidence, regardless of accuracy will be accepted to prove he is bad!
No evidence, regardless of accuracy will be accepted to prove he is not a villain!
Lastly, Liberals are open minded and always willing to give everyone a fair shake!

Seriously, does the evidence really show that he was the 1950's version of Darth Vader? I mean...is this it?
