McCarthyism- The use of unproven accusations to label someone as a communist.

Witch Hunts• Joe McCarthy

– Republican senator from Wisconsin– Felt he was unlikely to win reelection – Decided to use fear of communism to boost his career

• McCarthyism – McCarthy went on a rampage, announcing that the government was

stuffed with ‘reds’– Made claims that he had inside knowledge and proof (for example,

he’d say ‘I have a list of 205 people in the government who are members of the communist party’, but then would refuse to produce the names.

– Senators, when speaking in the senate, are immune from the charge of slander (knowingly telling lies to hurt another person’s reputation)

• Successful strategy– McCarthy won reelection and became famous– However, when he accused the army of having tons of communist

subversives, and called hearings on this issue, army officials blasted McCarthy and burst his imaginary bubble. He became a national disgrace
