Betlock letter: Wrong McCarthy

I was struck when I read Kevin Klein’s letter in the Aug. 14 Statesman. It contained only one “fact,” which was not a fact but an error.

Perhaps in the future Klein could read a little history in order to understand there were two Sen. McCarthys of the era. Klein managed to pick the wrong one and sully a decent man’s record.

On second thought he probably should just stick to expressing his opinions and not try to confuse us with his facts.

Barry Betlock, Eagle
