		McCarthy said Bortz would be given time to obtain legal representation, then ignored his own ruling by plunging ahead with the hearing.
		McCarthy regularly advised witnesses that they had a right not to answer a question if they thought it might incriminate them, but he took each refusal to answer as an admission of guilt, then browbeat the witness over his silence.
		McCarthy threatened Bortz with charges of perjury and contempt of Congress for refusing to answer his questions about whether he was violent.

	McCarthy Glimpsed Truth
		He seized on the term "witch-hunt," indicating that none of the people McCarthy's subcommittee questioned were enemies of the United States and, like any good Democrat, he linked this mythical "persecution of the innocent" to the crackdowns on terrorism initiated by Attorney General John Ashcroft after 9/11.
		McCarthy was wildly popular; American voters believed in him and were hostile toward Communism and Russian dictator Joseph Stalin.
		McCarthy was well aware of these enemies and of their canards.

		All Things Considered, May 5, 2003 · At the height of anti-Communist fervor in the early 1950s, Sen. Joseph McCarthy, a Republican from Wisconsin, was perhaps the most outspoken enemy of global socialism.
		What followed were two years of hearings, subpoenas and political pressure as McCarthy attempted to ferret out the Communists he was convinced were entrenched in all branches of government and among America's academic and artistic elites.
		After McCarthy hinted at a huge Communist conspiracy in the U.S Army, and his confrontational investigatory style wore thin on the American public, McCarthy was censured by the Senate for "conduct unbecoming of a senator." The McCarthy era of hunting down Communists was over.

	WorldNetDaily: The dirty deeds of Joe McCarthy
		It is now an article of the American faith, accepted by naive young conservatives, as well as liberals of all ages, that McCarthy was an unconscionable monster who, in the early 1950s, roamed the globe defaming innocent men and women as communists, and failing utterly to prove anything of the sort.
		It has now gotten to the point where, if someone discovered that McCarthy was especially fond of cream of tomato soup, learned professors would be quoted in the media to the effect that cream of tomato soup has recently been shown to encourage vicious behavior on the part of those who consume it.
		As a stellar example of successful defiance, she cites the composer Aaron Copland, who "fiercely defended himself, declaring, 'I have not been a communist in the past and I am not now a communist,'" and was not compelled to testify in public.

		According to this view, some U.S. composers responded to the political pressures of the Cold War by abandoning popular, folk-inspired works — such as Copland’s own Billy the Kid, Rodeo, and Appalachian Spring — in favour of atonal, audience-alienating works.
		McCarthy has been accused of a lot of misdeeds in the past.
		In July, 1921, Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg wrote excitedly to one of his pupils that he had “discovered something that will assure the supremacy of German music for the next 100 years.” His discovery was “dodecaphony,” an “emancipation of dissonance” that undermined the hierarchical structure of Western tonal harmony.
