What U.S. state did Joseph McCarthy, the anti-Communist crusader, represent in the U.S. Senate?

Reminds me of another desperate 'political' figure to capitalize on falsehoods for personal gain. People can be so gullible.

people need to feel they can express their options even if others don't share them McCarthy went way too far inpersecuting people actors in particular he was the reason Charlie Chaplin left the country

Many fine scholars and artists were silenced. We are deprived of their greatness.

Player Quitos, same is going on today

have you no decency sir? that was the response of the witness before the house unamerican activities committee that finally stopped McCarthys crusade.

Player #7432266, the band REM sampled that line in the song "Exhuming McCarthy".
