"McCarthy claimed in a 1950 speech to have compiled a list of 205 Communists who had infiltrated the U.S. State Department; upon later investigation he was unable to provide the names of or evidence against any of them." (Riggs). A lot of the tactics used by McCarthy were unorthodox. Many involved falsely accusing people without evidence or reasoning. "McCarthyism was an outgrowth of the more general Red Scare, the public fear and hysteria regarding the spread of Communism in the United States in the early to mid-twentieth century." (Riggs). McCarthyism spread the idea of communism infiltrating America into the minds of the people of the United States. Thus creating an effect of the Red Scare in the mindset of Americans. ]]> 2017-11-09 17:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/99014276/gyyc4f4ontwu/wish/205391595 99031775 https://padlet.com/99014276/gyyc4f4ontwu/wish/205393185 Joseph Raymond McCarthy (November 14, 1908 – May 2, 1957) was an American politician who served as U.S. Senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957.]]> 2017-11-09 17:22:51 UTC https://padlet.com/99014276/gyyc4f4ontwu/wish/205393185 99031849 https://padlet.com/99014276/gyyc4f4ontwu/wish/205401328 Joseph R. McCarthy won his election into the U.S senate by using negative publicity and false accusations toward his opponent. McCarthy began his crusade against Communism  February 9, 1950 denouncing Communism on moral and religious grounds rather than political and economic ones. McCarthy claimed that he had a list of about more than 200 people in the state department who were members of the American Communist party, and also that the secretary of state was aware of the list but still allowed these individuals to remain in power. He continued to use media to increase fear of communism by calling for frequent press conferences. When Dwight Eisenhower became president: other republicans and himself appointed McCarthy as the chair of a unimportant committee hoping that he would stay out of the spotlight. McCarthy used this to his advantage and created the Permanent subcommittee of investigations. During the first year his committee questioned more than six hundred individuals. Many of the people accused by McCarthy were writers actors and performers.]]> 2017-11-09 17:37:06 UTC https://padlet.com/99014276/gyyc4f4ontwu/wish/205401328 99014276 https://padlet.com/99014276/gyyc4f4ontwu/wish/205404509 McCarthyism- "McCarthyism."

Although elected as a circuit judge in 1939, he enlisted in the marines soon after Pearl Harbor and was immediately granted a commission as a second lieutenant. Assigned as an intelligence officer to a marine dive bomber unit, he remained largely deskbound, but flew 12 combat missions as an observer.
