Yes he did. Also
thanks to Whittaker Chambers and his pumpkin papers.
My sister is sending
me her copy of "Witness" by Whittaker Chambers. She said it was really good. I
can't wait to read it.

Basically, because of papers that have
been declassified in 1995 we have been made aware that McCarthy was right, and
the communist party in the USA was active and trying to bring down our
government. He actively went against traitors.
The name of the book is Treason, here is
the review:
Book Description
�Liberals� loyalty to the United States is
off-limits as a subject of political debate. Why is the relative patriotism of
the two parties the only issue that is out of bounds for rational
discussion?�
In a stunning follow-up to her number one bestseller
Slander, leading conservative pundit Ann Coulter contends that liberals
have been wrong on every foreign policy issue, from the fight against
Communism at home and abroad, the Nixon and the Clinton presidencies, and the
struggle with the Soviet empire right up to today�s war on terrorism.
�Liberals have a preternatural gift for always striking a position on the side
of treason,� says Coulter. �Everyone says liberals love America, too. No, they
don�t.� From Truman to Kennedy to Carter to Clinton, America has contained,
appeased, and retreated, often sacrificing America�s best interests and
security. With the fate of the world in the balance, liberals should leave the
defense of the nation to conservatives.
Reexamining the sixty-year
history of the Cold War and beyond�including the career of Senator Joseph
McCarthy, the Whittaker Chambers�Alger Hiss affair, Ronald Reagan�s challenge
to Mikhail Gorbachev to �tear down this wall,� the Gulf War, and our present
war on terrorism�Coulter reveals how liberals have been horribly wrong in all
their political analyses and policy prescriptions. McCarthy, exonerated by the
Venona Papers if not before, was basically right about Soviet agents working
for the U.S. government. Hiss turned out to be a high-ranking Soviet spy (who
consulted Roosevelt at Yalta). Reagan, ridiculed throughout his presidency,
ended up winning the Cold War. And George W. Bush, also an object of ridicule,
has performed exceptionally in responding to America�s newest threats at home
and abroad.
Coulter, who in Slander exposed a liberal bias in
today�s media, also examines how history, especially in the latter half of the
twentieth century, has been written by liberals and, therefore, distorted by
their perspective. Far from being irrelevant today, her clearheaded and
piercing view of what we�ve been through informs us perfectly for challenges
today and in the future.
With Slander, Ann Coulter became the
most recognized and talked-about conservative intellectual of the year.
Treason, in many ways an even more controversial and prescient book,
will ignite impassioned political debate at one of the most crucial moments in
our history.

For what? Opposing communism, and
telling people what a threat it is to freedom? Most people equate
McCarthy with the committee on unamerican activities. In fact most US
History texts teach that he was in charge of that committee. Of course
that's completely erroneous because the full title of that committee is the
HOUSE Committee on Unamerican Activities and McCarthy was a
Senator.
McCarthy was a genuine American
hero. Read Ann Coulter's book and you will be surprised at how things
have been skewed.
