America has always had their share of kooks but when a kook like McCarty gets power it can ruin many lives

He sounds like many kooks today running for office in the republican primaries


On November 14, 1908, Joseph McCarthy was born into a Roman Catholic family as the fifth of nine children in Appleton, Wisconsin. Although McCarthy dropped out of grade school at the age fourteen, he returned to diligently finish his studies in 1928,


During the 1950s Red Scare, America's first drug czar fed the opiate addiction of America's most feared senator.

Did America's First Drug Czar Secretly Supply Dope to Sen. Joe McCarthy?

He died a drunk and heroin addict May 2, 1957 :alcoholic:

Remember when he used his HUAC to Blacklist Hollywood writers and actors?

Joe McCarthy, who was supported by the John Birch Society (the old Tea Party) thought a communist was under every rock. He hurt many innocent people until he was disgraced in the House and died a broken and drunken idiot.

McCarthy's biggest mistake was VASTLY understating the extent to which FDR And Truman White House worked for Stalin and Mao

Alternet. 'Nuff said.
 
Doucheba...er, I mean GUNO can you name one "innocent" person whose life was ruined by Joe McCarthy?
 
McCarthy was a tad indelicate in his accusations, but essentially, he was correct.

Just look at the make-up of the current American government.

Owen Lattimore
Born and raised in Shanghai, Owen Lattimore was the former editor for the Institute of Pacific Relations Journal. He was the United States government liaison to Chiang Kai-Shek before the Nationalists' defeat in their civil war with China. From 1938 to 1950, Lattimore was directed the Page School of International Relations a Johns Hopkins University.

Lattimore's outspokenness, liberal views and acquaintance with Chiang Kai-Shek made him an easy target for McCarthy's anti-Communist campaigns. In 1950, McCarthy accused Lattimore of being the number one spy for the Soviets. After facing 12 days of intense questioning by McCarthy and his committee, Lattimore was charged with seven counts of perjury. Even though these charges were dismissed three years later, Lattimore's reputation and credibility among people was destroyed. Even after his death in 1989, many still questioned his loyalty to his country.

Val Lorwin
Val Lorwin was a State Department employee who had served in the labor section. When Joe McCarthy first brandished his list of alleged Communists, Lorwin was number 54 on the list. At this time, Lorwin was working as a labor economist in Paris.

Lorwin landed on the government's radar when his old friend Harold Metz testified that Lorwin had shown him a red card for the Communist Party and had hosted some "strange-looking people" at his house. Metz had actually made a mistake. Lorwin was later cleared in 1952 by the Loyalty Board when he testified that the red card was for the Socialist Party and the "strange-looking people" were Socialists.

Despite this, Lorwin was still indicted before the State Department for perjury. It wasn't until two years later did the Assistant Attorney General dismissed these charges. By then, Lorwin's reputation was tainted and Lorwin even said he felt like "several years of my own and my wife's life" were taken away. He even wrote, "I was thankful that we have no children".

Yeah and OJ didnt murder Nicole and Ron either
 
If one were to study actual quotes by Lattimore, they would find his views extreme and questionable, and he was a shill for Russia, but to state his career was ruined, is a falsehood.
In 1963, he was recruited from Johns Hopkins University to establish the Department of Chinese Studies at the University of Leeds.
As to Val Lorwin? The same thing#
As Professor of History, Lorwin taught at the University of Oregon from 1957 until his retirement in 1973. He authored numerous articles on the smaller European democracies and contributed to several disciplines, including history, economics, political science and sociology. His principal work,The French Labor Movement, appeared in 1954.[16]

In 1964, Lorwin was elected to the Council on Research in Economic History of the Economic History Association.[17] He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in economics in 1966.[18
 
Upon further review, the man had a point. There are a lot of communist/socialists in Hollywood!
