Professor Kaiser is a fan of Pearson, if you read his blog.
Here is just a little bit of the skinny surrounding him, re McCarthy and others.
Some things were true even if McCarthy said them, paraphrasing Thomas L Friedman re Trump, TLF an impeccable source of fallacies like this.
Professor Kaiser seems to be arguing himself into a socialist corner here. Maybe that is where he wants to be.
Re McCarthy's persecution of the China Hands as Ccommunists in the State Department, it is not as if this is some recherche faus notion.
The Department of State was legendary from the early 20th Century as a left leaning institution within a left leaning federal government.
To say that State, in the 30s no less than in the 50s, was filled with Communists, was not something outlandish at all, but rather just something common knowledge, and for them a badge of honor, in the Beltway and among also left leaning journalists and academics.

SEE VENONA DAVID KARR DREW PEARSON WALTER LIPPMANN MARY PRICE
Haynes, Ch 8 re journalists, p 240 and following, re Karr and the Pearsons.
Karr was Pearson's chief aide, and a Soviet agent. How do you have a close aide like that and not be a secret communist?
Certainly the Soviets believed he was firmly on their side, probably long before he hired Karr.
If Pearson wasn't a communist, he certainly put on a good act, masquerading, time after time, from a communist perspective and against anti communist targets, in his columns.
He ruined Patton, drove Forrestal to suicide, as his own partner Anderson admitted, and besmirched countless others.
Joe McCarthy had his number as, at the very least, a sympathetic and willing chump stooge of Stalin, although he wasn't believed at the time. Haynes, Venona, p. 245.
Drew Pearson Fallacy
Mary Price, another Soviet agent, was a close aid to Walter Lippmann....
Think about it.
