Did it though? Did it cause more damage than the threat itself? I for one don't think it did. McCarthy's mistake was focusing on Soviet infiltration of our government, which he did a somewhat good job at addressing, or at least shaming the Democrats into better policing their own, but the KGB's primary focus was in infiltrating and subverting American institutions like colleges and the media. They were playing the long game, and we are just now reaping the benefits of their work.

Picasso was literally a member of the Comintern.

George C Marshall countermanded that order which allowed the Chinese to pour over the boarder enmass and attack the Americans, while refusing to give McArthur the means to defend his men.

This video has some historical errors. First, the house continued to investigate "unamerican activities" well into the 70s long after McCarthy was censured. Second, the blacklist also outlived McCarthy, not really fully ending until early to mid 60s. Finally, a sin of omission. Democrats participated in this witch hunt, most notably Robert Kennedy who assisted McCarthy directly and JFK used the "soft on communism" accusation against Nixon in 1960. This was more widespread and deeper than this video leads us to believe.

The more documents come out from the ussr the more the accusations made back then turned out to be true. The communist party usa was a ussr front that was involved in spy operations. And the whole blacklist is mostly a myth, Hollywood hates controversy most of the people could still work just not on big projects, similar to what is happening to Mel Gibson right now. And remember all of them where involved in spy rings or violent union activity.

@@nazooondemand But it wasn't a witchunt it was an investigation that the communists tried to derail. And everyone that used the 5th amendment wasn't prosecuted. They didn't do that because they wanted to pretend that they where some sort of a victim (probably by instructions from the USSR). It's hard to claim witchunt when all they needed to say what the mafia was using just look at the Tony Accardo and he was a mafia boss everyone wanted in jail. The whole Red Scare thing is a bunch of nonsense propagated by the media and hollywood because they where communists back then and still are.

The Arthur Miller play The Crucible was a portrayal of the Salem witch trials in the late 17th century, however it was written during the McCarthy era because he wanted to draw a direct comparison between 1690's Salem and Joe McCarthy's communist hunt of the 1950's. McCarthyism spread to the entertainment industry and many very famous people of that time were accused--even Lucille Ball (of "I Love Lucy") and famous silent film actor Charlie Chaplin.

In 1980 while at UT- Austin I had the privilege to hear John Henry Faulk speak to my Journalism class. He described a group called AWARE that would put entertainer's names on a list of people with "known Communist ties." This threatened one's ability to get work or then as now, lucrative endorsements! If you let them shake you down for 50,000 dollars they would take your name off the list. John Henry ran as union president of the radio actor's guild on an anti- AWARE platform. That put him in Mccarthy's crosshairs!
