After a little digging it turns out that Herbert Brownell, Jr., While the Attorney General, referred to the Lawyers Guild, "the legal bulwark of the Communist Party".
Later KGB documents revealed that the guild had received money from the Soviets. Fred Fischer was a member of that organization.
McCarthy pointed out that Fischer was a member of an organiztion that had communist sympathies. What is worng with that? What people have been upset if McCarthy had revealed that Fischer was part of an organization that had Nazi sympathies. I doubt it.
Ann Coulter is usually over the top, but is she right about this. Did he not falsley accuse anyone of being a communist?
