i teach u.s. history and I'm going to show this to my class. Great job! Also, it McCarthyism not only relates to the witch hunts, but today with our "war on terrorism"...just something to think about...

@princesakayla wow, an actual teacher watching and sharing this video?! Thanks, that means a lot! And that does seem to relate to the terrorism efforts...

I think that once he started doing it, people got pissed at him, then he got mad about that and did it more to piss em off more, and everyone got really pissed off at each other from pretty much no reason at all.

Lol, that works too :D

[TheJBrigade]

Yes, that is the person in the video

And i agree

[TheJBrigade]

hmm, i never thought of him actually being crazy. I was thinking it was cuz he was just power-hungry

There's nothing funny about McCarthyism. Just read what they did to Charlie Chaplin.

Thank you so much for this....i'm doing my GCSE paper on it tomorow in Britain and it has proved very useful....a fun way to revise : )

There were communist spies in the State Department, and McCarthy named them correctly. Look up the Venona Project. Also see "Blacklisted by History" by M. Stanton Evans.
