McCarthy's "Which Hunt"

In 1950, Senator Joseph McCarthy was a relatively unpopular senator, and realized he needed a scheme to win the 1952 re-election. He decided to speculate and blame Communists for starting to infiltrate and take over the government. This caused a frenzy among the American population. He started with making completely unsupported small claims and accusations about "Communists" in the government. His attacks were then called, "McCarthyism" and later were known as unfair and unjust accusations.
At some points, he claimed to have the names of fifty seven to two hundred and five "known Communists" in the State Department. He never gave out a single name, however. He also blamed the Democratic party, his opposition, for "Twenty years of Treason," for bringing Communists and their influences into the government. The Republican Party, who had their eye on the Presidential Seat, did not do much to stop him, because they felt it strengthened their chances if they were seen as freeing the country of Communism. McCarthy was very careful to only make his accusations in the Senate, where he could not be sued.
His popularity started to decline once he made an allegation against the United States Army Force, for which the Senate initiated a public investigation that was aired on television. His public support dwindled away when the Senate found no support for his accusations. He was condemned by the Senate for "improper conduct" that brought the Senate into dishonor and dispute. Three years later, due to his raging alcoholism, he died.

The Palatial End.
