		McCarthy, was made chairman of the Government Committee on Operations of the Senate, and this gave him the opportunity to investigate the possibility of communist subversion.
		McCarthy made it clear to the witnesses that the only way of showing that they had abandoned their left-wing views was by naming other members of the party.
		Joseph McCarthy considered a libel suit against Greenspun but decided against it when he was told by his lawyers that if the case went ahead he would have to take the witness stand and answer questions about his sexuality.

	Heroine Worship: Jenny McCarthy, The McCarthy Era
		McCarthy has the blond, whole- some, slightly indistinct beauty of a prom queen, even though her spectacularly lush figure is shown off by tight white jeans and a flowery blue bikini top.
		McCarthy did help select the songs, but her far more noticeable contribution is the inside poster, featuring Jenny in a yellow polka-dot bikini.
		Manzella and McCarthy also tagged along when Lee blitzed Cannes in 1995, trying to sell the foreign rights for "Barb Wire," a $17 million project that would be her legitimate film debut; she would star as a tattooed, leather-clad action hero.

	McCarthy's Witch Hunt
		Many refused to take the oaths as a matter of principle, claiming that membership in the Communist Party was their right as citizens of a free country, just as was membership in the Democratic, Republican, or any other political party.
		McCarthy was a senator from Wisconsin who was obsessed by the anti-Communist virus and carried on a hysterical campaign, supported by the newspapers, TV and radio for several tragic years, until finally his arrogance and extremism led to public refusal to take any more of it, and he went down to defeat.
		The reason for this is that those who are foreign born do not have the protection that native born citizens have of the laws of the Constitution, so they are easier to prosecute.

		In June 1954, McCarthy was censured and in December condemned by the Senate.
		Senator Joseph McCarthy's continued string of reckless charges of communism in government created such a sensation that the Senate appointed a special committee under Millard E.

		McCarthy used this to charge that he was in the pay of the administration.

	McCarthy Era Offers Cautionary Tale for Post-9/11 America, Stone Says

		McCarthy announced his intentions to investigate the federal government, colleges, and universities, and in 1953 began an investigation of Voice of America, a World War II agency that promoted a positive view of the United States abroad.
		Moves to censure McCarthy climaxed when in 1954 a six-member congressional committee recommended that McCarthy be condemned “for reprehensible and contemptuous conduct.” The measure was adopted, 67-22, with Republicans split on the vote.

		Though eventually his accusations were proven to be untrue, and he was censured by the Senate for unbecoming conduct, his zealous campaigning ushered in one of the most repressive times in 20th-century American politics.
		Known as McCarthyism, the paranoid hunt for infiltrators was notoriously difficult on writers and entertainers, many of whom were labeled communist sympathizers and were unable to continue working.
		Among those few were comedian Mort Sahl, and journalist Edward R. Murrow, whose strong criticisms of McCarthy are often cited as playing an important role in his eventual removal from power.

	"Good Night, and Good Luck" — Joe McCarthy Rides Again — Bernard Weiner
		McCarthy's downfall was that he didn't know where to stop, or when; indeed, he believed he was unstoppable.
		McCarthy was encouraged by Republicans in the 1950s to rampage around looking for supposed Communists — and bullying everyone in his path — because it would reap the party political advantage in the post-World War II Cold War hysteria.
		It barely captures the social sweep and damage done by McCarthyism outside the CBS newsroom, and in its desire to glorify the courageous work of CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow (played brilliantly by David Straithairn) and his colleague Fred Friendly (Clooney), it overlooks that fact that others took on McCarthy long before they did.

		Defeated for the nomination by Hubert H. Humphrey, McCarthy retired from the Senate and resumed (1973) teaching, but subsequently mounted several (1976, 1988, 1992) futile campaigns for the presidency.

	The Logic of Persecution: Free Expression and the McCarthy Era
		The conceptual key to Redish’s approach to McCarthy era governmental policies regarding public education (e.g., investigations into communist influences, dismissing known communist teachers, and loyalty oaths) is a “virtually intractable dilemma” (p.178).
		Redish concludes the chapter by trying his hand at extrapolating from the McCarthy era analysis to contemporary issues, such as school bulletin boards, textbook selections, and then doubling-back to the McCarthy era to address policies controlling teachers’ political activities.
		It emphasizes a defense of the historical-formalist approach to the McCarthy era and its implications for innovative conceptions of unlawful advocacy, the rights of nonassociation, and public education.
