McCarthy destroyed lives. Having lived through that era I can tell you that anytime a person was called before the House on American Activities .. which was chaired by McCarthy.. (one of my parent's friends sat on it ) they were immediately thought of.. by most Americans, as guilty.

It didn't matter whether they were or not. There was a famous list of Hollywood producers and writers who were forever denied work. Some fled to Europe to try to resurrect their broken careers. Charlie Chaplin was one..

McCarthy,Cohn,Shine were demagogues.. AND irony of it all.. Cohn who was so anti gay died of AIDS.. He himself was gay.
Talk about hypocrisy.
