The Democrats demonized Joe McCarthy for his searches for communists in the State Department. (It was not McCarthy who went after Hollywood types.) As time goes by more classified information is released from the former Soviet Union, and it turns out that McCarthy ewas wrong; the situation was worse than he thought. Here is a paragraph I lifted from 'dissecting leftism."

As time goes by, and more and more records are declassified, it is becoming more and more apparent that Joe McCarthy was mistaken about the amount of Soviet infiltration of American institutions: He underestimated it. There was something like over 400 Soviet agents and fellow travellers in the State Department, alone, where he had estimated 200.

Democrats hate it when it is revealed that many communists in the Democratic Party were actively working with the Russian communists to undermine the United States. Some of those same people are now actively helping Islamists.
