Letter from Eisenhower about McCarthy, page 2 (Note the line: "At times one feels almost like hanging his head in shame when he reads some of the unreasoned, vicious outbursts of demagoguery that appear in our public prints.")
Letter from Eisenhower to his brother (Note the best line: "To my mind, that practice smacks of more of the coward and the fool than of the leader.")
Yeah, Eisenhower sure thought a lot of him. :rolleyes: I dare say Eisenhower was "more" of a patriot than 99% of people out there.
Note: he was censured by a republican-led senate.
Anyone who thinks McCarthy was a "victim" is engaging in that time honored tradition of revisionism.
