On the Fact that (According to the M. Stanton Evans Volume, "The Politics of Surrender") In a January, 1949 Speech, Congressman John F. Kennedy Absolutely Shredded Suspected Pinko Collaborators (Owen Lattimore, John K. Fairbank, the People at I.P.R., etc.) and Strongly Denounced the Truman/Acheson/Marshall/Jessup Policy of Full Capitulation In China

And please keep in mind here that this speech took place a full year before McCarthy took his oath of office as a U.S. Senator. Hmm, I guess that some rabid anti-Communists are little easier to digest than others (the Eastern, elitist ones obviously being the preferred models).
