"The terms of the enemy"? Come on, this is typical 1950s McCarthyist rhetoric.

1. He has since been proven right.
2. why shouldn't I call those who seek to make me into a slave an enemy?
McCarthy was never proven right,

Actually, he was eventually.  McCarthy's core premise was that the Soviet Union had sleeper cells inside the United States, and he believed that spies held very high profile lifestyles, most likely in media.  It took until after the fall of the Soviet Union to prove it, but McCarthy's paranoid premise was correct even though a great number of innocent people were included into the project as well.
