:That's right. Herman makes largely the same point I made; the issues McCarthy took up were two decades of Soviet infiltration into the New Deal. The US fought a war as a Soviet ally, and suddenly the US was forced into a nuclear arms race with that same ally ''because of New Dealers'', not because of any technolgical achievements the Soviet Union accomplished in its own right. Our fellow citizens who were responsible for this insane nuclear arms race responded that they just had never stopped fighting fascism, McCarthy and anyone else who question thier motives or methods are considered by them as fascists as well. These are the basic issues. [[User:RobS|Rob Smith]] 21:53, 2 September 2007 (EDT)
:::RobS, you agree with the good things that Herman stated but do you agree with this: "Herman freely admits that McCarthy was careless with his facts and reckless in his rhetoric.....Herman's McCarthy is crude, ignorant, bullying, and possibly even mentally ill: McCarthy's manic mood swings, his gambling, the chaos in which he worked, his ability to go for days without sleep-these all look to Herman like the symptoms of a hypomanic disorder."
