The mainstream view is that the United States today: not only the persecution of McCarthyism and drive away good people, but also seriously affected the image of democracy and freedom in the United States [citation needed]; particularly severe because of the media organizations, McCarthyism has long been the Soviet Union and other communist countries counter Soviet propaganda as fact that the United States. McCarthyism during the prevalence of politics in American history the darkest period of McCarthyism and McCarthy I own in America today has become a "political persecution" of the pronoun and representatives; that October 26, 2001 issued by President George W. Bush " USA Patriot Act "is a considerable portion of Americans believe that the restoration of McCarthyism.
Some people think that [who? ], Despite the spread anti-communist McCarthyism, but the practices and the tyranny of the Communist Party [citation needed] is exactly the same. If the U.S. does not deal with McCarthyism, but will provide an opportunity to enter the United States of communism.

On this assessment correct?

Internationally, McCarthyism is recognised as pretty bad. But in the U.S. Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and certainly Ann Coulter would want to bring back McCarthyism. In her 2003 book Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason:_Liberal_Treachery_from_the_Cold_War_to_th e_War_on_Terrorism) she tries to rehabilitate McCarthy.susZ2ceEHwk

Yeah, it is becoming a little more common for the Glen Beck types to not just make excuses for McCarthyism but to actually say it was a good thing and that we are slipping by not doing the same thing with Muslims.

For liberals McCarthyism is still a rallying cry, but it's been divorced from it's original meaning. Many liberals just consider McCarthyism as A) a Republican, not bi-partisan historical effort and B) Shorthand for any restrictions of free-speech rather than as a pointed act of political repression.
