A Biography of Joseph McCarthy
Joseph Raymond McCarthy was an American politician who climbed the political ladder to become a U.S. Senator from 1947 until his death in 1957. A politician following World War II and the fall of the Iron Curtain, he capitalized on the mass hysteria by claiming that there were a significant number of “Commies” in the U.S. government. This mass hysteria and the actions that followed suit became known as McCarthyism. He gained a significant amount of power during this period, with a large number of politicians fearful of being accused of Communist sympathies if they were to stand against him. These claims were largely unsubstantiated, and ultimately led him to be censured by the United States Senate. Some of the hysteria and actions resulted in discrimination, assault, harassment and a slew of other charges that were ultimately dismissed due to the fear of being called a Communist sympathizer. Joseph McCarthy was an effective politician who despite his perceived reputation had several vices and did not hesitate to use every advantage possible. Evidence of scare tactics that were commonplace during this time is still evident in the present political realm from immigration and terrorism. Due to the high amount of paranoia in regards to how pervasive potential Communists were in the United States, people were in constant fear.
Joseph McCarthy was born on November 14th, 1908 in Grand Chute, Wisconsin. His father was born in America with a mix of both Irish and German, while his mother had emigrated from Ireland. He attended school until he dropped out at the age of 14 to help with his parent’s farm. After becoming bored with farm work, he started his own chicken business but was quickly bankrupted due to a disease that killed his flock. With no money at the age of 20, he became the manager of a grocery store where he returned to graduate from high school at the age of 20 within nine months. Due to his excellent grades McCarthy was able to spend the next 5 years earning a law degree from Marquette University in 1935. During his time at the university, “he coached boxing, and was elected president of his law school class, all while working a series of part-time jobs.” (Reeves) Following his graduation, he was immediately admitted to the bar that same year, and created his own firm to practice law. Quickly after, he moved and became a partner at a firm in Shawano, Wisconsin. While working for the law firm, he engaged in illicit gambling on the side, as a way to subsidize his income. In 1936, he began his run for district attorney in Shawano, Wisconsin as a Democrat, losing to the incumbent. This loss changed his perspective and had changed his strategy. In 1939 he ran for 10th District circuit judge as a nonpartisan and won, securing his first political office.
His opponent was the incumbent judge who had served for over 24 years. His method of running for office at that time wa ...

Joseph McCarthy sparked the era of McCarthyism in the 1950s through accusations of communist infiltration without evidence. He claimed to have a list of 205 known communists working for the US government. The public became paranoid and thousands lost their jobs or were imprisoned due to mere suspicions. McCarthy's accusations corrupted society and allowed him to target people in the government, entertainment industry, education, and unions. Many lives and careers were destroyed with little proof of communist ties. The document draws parallels between McCarthyism and The Crucible, as playwright Arthur Miller was also accused during this period.
Joseph McCarthy was a Republican Senator from Wisconsin known for making unsupported accusations of Communist infiltration in the United States government during the 1950s. He rose to national fame in 1950 when he claimed to have a list of Communist Party members working for the State Department. McCarthy launched widely publicized investigations and hearings, accusing various government employees and organizations of being communist or communist sympathizers without clear evidence. His tactics became known as McCarthyism. By 1954, McCarthy's accusations against respected figures like the U.S. Army drew widespread criticism and the Senate voted to condemn his actions, ending his political influence.
Senator Joseph McCarthy led a witch hunt in the 1950s accusing many Americans of being communists. He targeted government workers like John Service and Hollywood figures. McCarthy's accusations grew unreasonable over time as he attacked even the U.S. Army without proof. Public opinion turned against McCarthy and the Senate condemned his actions, marking the end of the McCarthy era.
Joseph McCarthy sparked an era of fear and paranoia known as McCarthyism through accusations of Communist infiltration without evidence. Thousands lost jobs and reputations due to McCarthy's claims. Both McCarthyism and the Salem Witch Trials show how easily words can influence society and corrupt humanity, as accusations alone were enough for people to be punished despite lack of proof.
The document discusses the Red Scare period of the 1950s in the United States. It describes how fears of communist subversion and infiltration led to investigations by the House Un-American Activities Committee. Notable examples included investigations into the film industry that blacklisted the "Hollywood Ten" and Senator Joseph McCarthy's accusations of communists in the government without clear evidence. The period saw intensified fears of communism and efforts to root out perceived communist threats that some argue went too far.
There was a fear of communism infiltrating the US government during the 1950s Red Scare era. Senator Joseph McCarthy exploited this fear by claiming to have a list of 205 communists working for the state department, though he provided no evidence. His hearings devolved into a witch hunt targeting many on false accusations. McCarthy's tactics were eventually condemned when he began threatening the Army, leading to a Senate vote to censure him in 1954.
The document summarizes McCarthyism and the Red Scare in the United States during the 1950s. It describes how Senator Joseph McCarthy exploited widespread anti-Communist hysteria for political gain by making unfounded accusations of Communist infiltration. He targeted government employees, Hollywood figures, and others. Though initially popular, his tactics eventually lost credibility and public support as he made accusations that seemed unjustified.

This document provides historical context for Arthur Miller's play The Crucible. It discusses how the play is set during the Salem Witch Trials of the 17th century but is also an allegory for McCarthyism and the Red Scare of the 1950s. Miller uses the play to criticize McCarthyism and draw parallels between the political climates, social fears, and unjust trials that occurred during both periods in American history. The document also provides background on McCarthyism, Joseph McCarthy's tactics of making unsubstantiated accusations to further his own political career, and how artists were targeted during this period.
In the 1890s-1905, Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois disagreed on the path to civil rights for African Americans. Washington advocated for industrial education and economic advancement through vocations like agriculture. DuBois pushed for higher education and direct political action to fight for civil rights and social change. Their debate reflected differing views on whether the focus should be integration or immediate social reform.
After WWII and during the 1940s-1950s, Joseph McCarthy took advantage of American fears about communism. He developed a list of around 200 government employees he claimed were communist infiltrators. Many people were accused of being communists, including government officials, writers, and entertainers. Their careers were often destroyed. McCarthyism led to paranoia and hysteria before beginning to decline in 1954 when McCarthy died in 1957. It showed how susceptible people can be to accusations and suspicion.
The document provides instructions for requesting and completing an assignment writing request on the HelpWriting.net site.

The lesson plan examines McCarthyism and the Red Scare of the 1950s. Students will critically examine the political, social, and cultural impact of McCarthyism in America and analyze how it responded to fears of communism during the Red Scare. The teacher will give a lecture on the Red Scare, where hysteria over communism led to investigations of suspected communists. They will also cover McCarthyism, where Senator Joseph McCarthy falsely accused hundreds of government employees of being communists, fueling paranoia. Students will then discuss in groups how the Red Scare led to McCarthyism and its repressive policies that blacklisted many in the entertainment industry.

Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provokin.docxDIPESH30
Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provoking questions based on the recent reading assignments, video clips and the other websites assigned.
Only complete questions will earn credit. Therefore, it is important for you to think carefully about formulating the kinds of questions intended to stimulate conversations. Ask detailed and specific, rather than broad, general questions. Do not ask, for example, ‘When was the first Mission established in California?’ Instead, ask something like ‘What is the ideological agenda behind maintaining figures like Father Junipero Serra as heroic in California textbooks?’
Other examples include:
Does recent news media coverage of the “riots” in Baltimore, Ferguson and other cities promote a message that is pro-police? If not, how does it engender understanding of the root causes of many of the frustrations of local residents?
In the film “Banned in Arizona,” why does Superintendent Tom Horne argue in favor of “individualism” and why does he say that the Mexican American Studies program encourages radical thinking? What, if anything, is radical about the way those courses teach students in Tucson, Arizona?
If the U.S. reinstated a Vietnam War era-like military draft instead of relying upon the current all-volunteer force, would current public support for war change at all? If so, how?
Please consider these guidelines in composing your questions:
1. Make certain to ask at least one question from each source.
2. Ask questions about things that interest you.
3. Write your questions as though you were asking them to the entire class.
4. Be sure to make specific reference to the readings in each question. Many good questions require at least two sentences.
5. Try and use the questions to critique the author's opinion.
6. These homework questions should attempt to raise larger issues and---when possible---to relate the readings to issues in our current world.
"This week, I want us to think about the concept of
bias
, and its application in the places we consume information. This is tricky territory because even the very presentation of this unit is fraught with bias—my personal bias, or frame of reference. I’m going to ask you to read a collection of articles that I think are important, but they all clearly have a perspective and an agenda that comes from a particular worldview. So let’s get that out in the open. Maybe nothing in your liberal arts education is free from bias, but that does not mean we shy away from considering the information, ideas, arguments and critiques.
What is bias? For the purposes of our consideration, bias is really just about a set of values that can color or distort fair judgment. We can sometimes recognize obvious bias in others, especially when people use overtly discriminatory or offensive language, or have a clear political or ideological perspective that makes everything they present go through that lens. But more than anything else, I want us to think a.

The use of headings for each relationship discussed is suggested.
Application of legal principles to the facts is the most important and often the hardest step. I am more interested in how you arrived at your answer, than the actual conclusions that you draw. Having said that, the “kitchen sink approach” is not suggested – i.e. spilling all of your knowledge that is vaguely related to the issue raised into your answer.
Please do not simply say, “Andrew is liable for negligence.” You must go through the analysis for why or why not a particular tort claim will be successful.
Use the language of the question.
Be as comprehensive and thorough as possible when responding to each issue – canvas all possible answers. If you have considered the application of a particular contractual concept, but after analysis, you have decided that it is not applicable, please go through your analysis.

George Orange, owner of Guppy World, a pet fish store, has been a long-time tenant of Confederation Mall. Colin and Darren work for Mr. Orange. Colin was repairing a ceiling fan when he asked Darren to toss him a screwdriver, as Colin was up on a step-ladder at the time. Darren, standing 15 feet away, underhand tosses the screwdriver to Colin. Darren overshoots the toss and the screwdriver shatters a glass fish tank containing a piranha fish. At the same time a customer, Sally, was walking towards the check-out to purchase fish food, when she slipped on the water from the broken tank, fell to the floor and fractured her wrist. She is also bitten on the ankle by the piranha. When Mr. Orange tried to assist Sally, he smelled a strong smell of alcoholic beverage coming from her mouth. Colin noted that Sally appeared to be staggering slightly before falling.
Sally was transported to the hospital by paramedics. The doctor determines that Sally’s foot needs to be amputated due to the piranha bite and she needs to wear a cast on her wrist for 6-8 weeks due to the fracture.

Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provokin.docxDIPESH30
Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provoking questions based on the recent reading assignments, video clips and the other websites assigned.
Only complete questions will earn credit. Therefore, it is important for you to think carefully about formulating the kinds of questions intended to stimulate conversations. Ask detailed and specific, rather than broad, general questions. Do not ask, for example, ‘When was the first Mission established in California?’ Instead, ask something like ‘What is the ideological agenda behind maintaining figures like Father Junipero Serra as heroic in California textbooks?’
Other examples include:
Does recent news media coverage of the “riots” in Baltimore, Ferguson and other cities promote a message that is pro-police? If not, how does it engender understanding of the root causes of many of the frustrations of local residents?
In the film “Banned in Arizona,” why does Superintendent Tom Horne argue in favor of “individualism” and why does he say that the Mexican American Studies program encourages radical thinking? What, if anything, is radical about the way those courses teach students in Tucson, Arizona?
If the U.S. reinstated a Vietnam War era-like military draft instead of relying upon the current all-volunteer force, would current public support for war change at all? If so, how?
Please consider these guidelines in composing your questions:
1. Make certain to ask at least one question from each source.
2. Ask questions about things that interest you.
3. Write your questions as though you were asking them to the entire class.
4. Be sure to make specific reference to the readings in each question. Many good questions require at least two sentences.
5. Try and use the questions to critique the author's opinion.
6. These homework questions should attempt to raise larger issues and---when possible---to relate the readings to issues in our current world.
"This week, I want us to think about the concept of

, and its application in the places we consume information. This is tricky territory because even the very presentation of this unit is fraught with bias—my personal bias, or frame of reference. I’m going to ask you to read a collection of articles that I think are important, but they all clearly have a perspective and an agenda that comes from a particular worldview. So let’s get that out in the open. Maybe nothing in your liberal arts education is free from bias, but that does not mean we shy away from considering the information, ideas, arguments and critiques.
What is bias? For the purposes of our consideration, bias is really just about a set of values that can color or distort fair judgment. We can sometimes recognize obvious bias in others, especially when people use overtly discriminatory or offensive language, or have a clear political or ideological perspective that makes everything they present go through that lens.

THIS ISTHE CASE STUDY ATTACHED IS THE DIRECTIONS ON OW TO COMPLETE THE TASK.
Case Study Analysis
When it comes to planning events how many of us take the proper steps and put in the time and how many of us wait till the last minute to plan our event? What's the outcome of an event that has had the proper planning? Usually, a properly planned event is a huge success, and people leave-taking away information that will help them either improve, grow as a person or be successful at their job. People who try to plan events without taking the proper steps find themselves running into many problems along the way. Before they know it, they are out of time to fix any issues or problems that arise. Running out of time can lead to frustration, panic, and eventually the thought of “what am I going to do". Even though the steps to planning an event can be time-consuming, proper planning can ease frustration and anxiety, and lead to a successful event. Proper planning can eliminate the “What am I going to do” question.
Background
In the case study, Carl Robins did not plan for his event very well. He hired 15 new trainees and wanted to schedule a new hire orientation on June 15
th
. His goal was to have the new hires working by July. Carl had only been at his job for six months, and this was his first recruitment effort, so it is crucial for this event to work in Carl’s favor. Carl was contacted by Monica Carrolls, the soon to be Supervisor of the new hires, on May 15
th
. Monica was following up with Carl on how the planning for his orientation was going. She asked him about physicals, drug tests, the training schedule, orientation, manuals, and policy booklets. Carl told Monica that everything would be fine and ready to go in time for orientation. After Memorial Day, Carl finally decided to start planning for his event. Unfortunately; because Carl did not do any planning after hiring the fifteen new trainees and waited till the last minute to plan his event, he ran into multiple problems. When Carl finally decided to start planning for his event, he found that the training room where he was going to hold his orientation was booked for the whole month of June by a fellow associate named Joe. Joe was from technology services and needed the room for computer terminals. When he went to finalize the paperwork for his event, he found that some of the new hire trainees did not have completed transcripts or applications on file; nor had they gone to the clinic for their physicals and mandatory drug screenings. He then checked the orientation manuals and found that there were only three and that those three had missing pages. By now, Carl is very concerned, his anxiety is at a level high, and he is so frustrated that he sits with his head on his desk with the thought of “What am I going to do”.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

A Biography of Joseph McCarthy
Joseph Raymond McCarthy was an American politician
who climbed the political ladder to become a U.S. Senator from
1947 until his death in 1957. A politician following World War
II and the fall of the Iron Curtain, he capitalized on the mass
hysteria by claiming that there were a significant number of
“Commies” in the U.S. government. This mass hysteria and the
actions that followed suit became known as McCarthyism. He
gained a significant amount of power during this period, with a
large number of politicians fearful of being accused of
Communist sympathies if they were to stand against him. These
claims were largely unsubstantiated, and ultimately led him to
be censured by the United States Senate. Some of the hysteria
and actions resulted in discrimination, assault, harassment and a
slew of other charges that were ultimately dismissed due to the
fear of being called a Communist sympathizer. Joseph
McCarthy was an effective politician who despite his perceived
reputation had several vices and did not hesitate to use every
advantage possible. Evidence of scare tactics that were
commonplace during this time is still evident in the present
political realm from immigration and terrorism. Due to the high
amount of paranoia in regards to how pervasive potential
Communists were in the United States, people were in constant
fear.
Joseph McCarthy was born on November 14th, 1908 in
Grand Chute, Wisconsin. His father was born in America with a
mix of both Irish and German, while his mother had emigrated
from Ireland. He attended school until he dropped out at the age
2. of 14 to help with his parent’s farm. After becoming bored with
farm work, he started his own chicken business but was quickly
bankrupted due to a disease that killed his flock. With no money
at the age of 20, he became the manager of a grocery store
where he returned to graduate from high school at the age of 20
within nine months. Due to his excellent grades McCarthy was
able to spend the next 5 years earning a law degree from
Marquette University in 1935. During his time at the university,
“he coached boxing, and was elected president of his law school
class, all while working a series of part-time jobs.” (Reeves)
Following his graduation, he was immediately admitted to the
bar that same year, and created his own firm to practice law.
Quickly after, he moved and became a partner at a firm in
Shawano, Wisconsin. While working for the law firm, he
engaged in illicit gambling on the side, as a way to subsidize
his income. In 1936, he began his run for district attorney in
Shawano, Wisconsin as a Democrat, losing to the incumbent.
This loss changed his perspective and had changed his strategy.
In 1939 he ran for 10th District circuit judge as a nonpartisan
and won, securing his first political office.
His opponent was the incumbent judge who had served for over
24 years. His method of running for office at that time was
involved harassing his opponent about his age, claiming that he
was too old to handle the duties of a circuit judge. While the
judge’s age was significant, the method that McCarthy used was
a precursor to his actions later in his political career. In
winning, he became the youngest judge in Wisconsin state
history at the time. His work as a judge was heavily criticized,
as he was considered to be extremely inefficient. For example,
he had a large number of cases that were in backlog due to his
inefficiencies. Rather than honestly work towards a solution, he
often sped through cases in an attempt to quickly reduce his
backlog. Examples of this can be seen with how he handled
divorce cases, as he would always concern himself with the
child’s needs over anything else. While one could see it as
admirable, he did not follow proper protocol and often did it to
3. simplify the process. His misconduct reached a critical point
when he was “rebuked by the Wisconsin Supreme Court for an
‘abuse of judicial authority’ after destroying court records.”
(Reeves) Following this, he was eventually censured for an
ethical violation in regards to a code that prohibits active judges
from running for non-judicial posts. However, shortly after the
beginning of World War II, McCarthy took a leave of absence
from his judicial duties and entered the Marines as a
commissioned first lieutenant. He joined the Marines after being
told that it would be the best branch to use as a part of his
military career. He was an intelligence officer, who was
stationed in the Pacific near the Solomon Islands. By the end of
his duty, he was discharged as a captain with twelve combat
missions and having been on duty for thirty months. Despite
being a part of a bombing squadron, he was never injured as he
had claimed in later conversations. He had also claimed that he
had flown 32 missions and owned a Distinguished Flying Cross.
All the while also publicizing his exploits of having been
commended by his commanding officer and the then Chief of
Naval Operations. This was found to have all been false, which
held no effect on his future attempts at political office. While
still on active duty in 1944, McCarthy challenged Alexander
Wiley, the incumbent for the Republican nomination to the U.S.
Senate but was completely defeated. Following his resignation
from the military, he was immediately re-elected to his original
position as a circuit judge and preparing for the 1946 Senate
campaign.
The preparations for McCarthy in regards to the 1946 Senate
campaign involved him beating incumbent Robert La Follete Jr.
McCarthy played on the issues that he knew would impact the
voters, namely Follete’s lack of involvement in the war.
McCarthy heavily focused on this despite Follete being 46 when
Pearl Harbor was attacked, and claiming that Follete profited
off of the war while he was fighting. Despite the fact that,
McCarthy had made a large profit, investing into the stock
market and made no mention of it. The rumors of Follete having
4. possibly profited or been a part of war profiteering was
significantly damaging to Follete’s chances of being re-elected.
These claims as well as Follete’s past as a leader of the
Progressive Party hurt his chances at a re-election and lost
making McCarthy the Republican nominee. The general election
proved to be a non-issue, cleanly defeating Democrat opponent
Howard McMurray, 61.2% to 37.3%. As a result, he became the
youngest member of the U.S. Senate at 38 years old; he was
very popular and marked his entrance into the U.S. Senate.
Senator McCarthy’s following three years marked a period of
generally conservative voting which did not follow the
Republican Party line. One of his key accomplishments was
fighting for housing legislation and the relaxing of the sugar
rationing. However, he was very unpopular with his fellow
senators, who often found him to be quick-tempered. He was
known to be active in labor-management issues and fought
against the continuation of wartime price control. This helped
him gain popularity among the voters but was also mired in
controversy when he accepted a $20,000 personal loan from a
Pepsi bottling executive. He suddenly “became the Pepsi-Cola
Kid” (Herman) and earned him several enemies as a result.
However, at this time one of the more popular issues that had
become prevalent was the paranoia that there was a communist
infiltration of the US government. This was due to a series of
news including espionage, the Iron Curtain and the Red Scare.
McCarthy capitalized on this with the first recorded instance of
what would soon become a party line. At the Republican
Women’s Club of Wheeling, West Virginia on February 9th
1950, McCarthy spoke and produced a list of people whom he
believed to be Communists in the State Department. More
specifically, he claimed that he “knew of 205 communists in the
State Department,” (Reeves) and later claimed to have the
“names of 57 State Department communists and called for an
investigation.” (Reeves) These charges made headlines
everywhere as the Senate rushed a response and appointed a
committee under Senator Millard Tydings, a Democrat of
5. Maryland, to open the hearings on March 8, 1950. McCarthy
had previously had these names investigated privately and
turned up nothing. The Tyding’s committee reported that there
were no grounds for McCarthy’s accusations. In response,
McCarthy claimed that the communists had already influenced
the government and the media provided extensive coverage of
him. He soon became the “most famous political figure in the
nation after President Harry Truman,” (Reeves) which added to
his power. While he was proven to be wrong, the media added
to his power and he began investigations into homosexuals who
worked in the foreign policy bureaucracy as he believed that
they were prime candidates for blackmail.
This helped garner more support for his cause and gained him a
large national following. He fed the fuel to the fire claiming
that, “In Congress, there was little doubt that homosexuals did
not belong in sensitive government positions.” (Joseph
McCarthy) During his period of harassment, the government had
substantially increased the number of homosexuals that were
dismissed from government positions. This is roughly around
the same time that the term McCarthyism was coined. It was
coined by the cartoonist Herbert Block as a synonym for
demagoguery, or mudslinging. Opposition of McCarthy claimed
that he was using these tactics to get the support of voters
despite it being discriminatory. His influence extended outside
of his own political realm as he helped other politicians, most
notably when McCarthy campaigned for John Butler against
Millard Tydings who was a part of the Senate committee.
McCarthy claimed that Tydings was involved in the protection
of communists and among other things made out to be an
untrustworthy person. While Tyding’s loss was not directly
attributed to McCarthy’s influence, it did raise concerns about
the defamatory literature that was spread from McCarthy’s staff.
He used his power often, helping other politicians into office
however, often clashed with President Truman. McCarthy
claimed that key figures in the Truman administration were
responsible for the spread of Communism, most notably Catlett
6. Marshall who had created the Marshall Plan. More examples of
the clash between the two are littered throughout history, most
notably when Truman dismissed General Douglas MacArthur.
Upon the dismissal, McCarthy exclaimed that “the son of a
bitch should be impeached.” (Giblin) Interactions with
presidents were varied, with Eisenhower most notably touring
with McCarthy but disagreeing with his methods. Upon his
second term as a senator in 1953, McCarthy was made the
chairman of a Senate Committee on government operations.
This was a panel of very little importance, created as a way to
mitigate the potential damage that McCarthy could cause.
Despite this, he entered into a number of investigations, most
notably the Army and began his tumultuous downfall.
The Army hearings were a direct result in which McCarthy
personally accused the US Army of having Communist
infiltration and other acts. The US Army conducted an
investigation that concluded that McCarthy’s claims were
largely fruitless and began a counter accusation that McCarthy
was abusing his powers to gain preferential treatment. The
inquiry was decided by the Senate in which a formal
investigation was started. Known as the Army-McCarthy
hearings, it was broadcasted nationally and lasted for 36 days
with over 80 million people watching. There were a variety of
key moments in the case, most notably the Hoover memo which
was produced by McCarthy. He claimed that the letter was sent
from J. Edgar Hoover was the FBI Director to the Army
intelligence group warning of a possible Communist subversion.
The letter was determined to be a fake quickly after as
McCarthy could not provide any other evidence supporting the
validity of the letter. Other moments that were significant were
the accusations of homosexuality in the government and their
perceived risks. McCarthy claimed that those who were
homosexual were more likely to be at risk of Communist
blackmail and should not be in the government. The case came
to a climax when McCarthy gave a name when confronted by
the Army’s counsel. He claimed that Fred Fisher was a part of a
7. group that was considered to be the “legal bulwark of the
Communist Party,” (Reeves) and also claimed that the Attorney
General was a part of this group. Upon review, it was found that
Fred Fisher had done nothing wrong and that there was no basis
for McCarthy’s claims. Following this, the case was closed and
was suggested that McCarthy be censured.
Following the Army-McCarthy hearings, an increasing number
of Republicans saw that McCarthy was a liability as his
popularity began to fall. As his popularity began to wind down,
senators who had opposed McCarthy began to act towards
having him censured. He was ultimately censured based off of
his tactics in browbeating and assembling parties to harass
specific members of the Senate. Following his censure,
McCarthy lost a significant amount of power, as his career as a
politician had been ruined. He still rallied against Communism,
claiming that we were infiltrated and that we must eradicate it
from the world. He died on May 2nd, 1957 at the age of 48 from
what contemporary biographers consider to be alcoholism. The
legacy of Joseph McCarthy is marred by controversy as some
reports indicate that there were actual Communists that had
infiltrated the US government. However, his tactics and
discriminatory practices do little to vindicate the person he had
become in pursuit of eliminating communists. While an
effective and popular politician at one point, his actions
eventually alienated his supporters and directly contributed to
his downfall.
Despite Joseph McCarthy’s eventual downfall, one cannot deny
the power that the man held. His relevance does not confine him
to the realms of Communism and fear mongering. In this
modern era, politicians today still use some of the same tactics
in an attempt to scare or discredit others. Examples can be seen
in the 2008 Election where the Republican Party worked
tirelessly to prod and bring light to the possibility that President
Obama was not a US citizen. The issue had been dramatized and
extended to the point that Obama had to produce his birth
certificate. Issues have become problematic as seen with
8. politicians exaggerating the dangers of illegal immigrants in
Border States, leading to legislation that makes it more difficult
for one to obtain citizenship. Other effects of this can be seen
with racial profiling and discrimination, most notably in
Arizona. This is reminiscent of the fear mongering that resulted
in the dismissal of large numbers of gay governmental
employees. In a world in which people can be manipulated by
fear, Joseph McCarthy’s tactics are just as valid today as they
were 50 years ago. While people may not be afraid of
Communism, the issues that concern the citizens today can be
just as easily manipulated. One explanation is due to the lack of
education that exists among voters, especially in regards to
multi-faceted issues. While some problems like gun rights may
be a simple explanation, the complexities of immigration policy
could not be explained nor understood without extensive
research. In this, politicians rely on shock factors that would
scare the citizen into voting for one particular option. As
mentioned prior, Arizona had released a state bill that required
officers to check for legal documentation that would result in
the arresting of illegal immigrants. Despite this being a direct
violation of a person’s rights, the citizens voted for this
measure due to the fear mongering of the politicians in Arizona.
With this, it is clear that McCarthy is still relevant with new
issues appearing as they work towards misleading and preying
on the ignorance of others.
