→Criticism of McCarthy's methods: critics just can't seem to grasp it
: The section includes unsupported opinions like, "McCarthy's support and popularity began to fade due to his lack of actual evidence and defendant convictions." Whoever wrote this seems to think that McCarthy was a prosecuting attorney. He was not. McCarthy was a US Senator, and it was not his job to convict defendants.

: This whole section perpetuates a lot of false myths, and should be slashed and fixed. If I do it, then I would remove most of it, as it is unbalanced, misleading, and I don't even see the point to most of the so-called criticisms. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 20:40, 23 March 2007 (EDT)

::I think the overkill nature of it backfires and generates sympathy for McCarthy. But McCarthy's critics just can't seem to grasp that. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 21:03, 23 March 2007 (EDT)
