William Benton. At least ruined politically by McCarthy's lies and smears. Truman, to some degree. George Seldes - blacklisted: "In the early 1950s Seldes work came under attack from Joseph McCarthy. Despite his long history of being hostile to all forms of authoritarianism and totalitarianism, he was accused of being a communist. He later recalled how: "Newspaper columnists would write that a Russian agent stopped by my office each week to pay my salary. I didn't have the money to sue them for libel. My lawyer told me it would take years to reach a settlement and even if I won I would never see a dime."" Oliver Harrington - forced in exile. Bill Mauldin - retired as a result of McCarthy smears. Countless other smaller names...do some research yourself. Relying on Ann Coulter (or the lightweight Alan Coumbs) to do so will net you nada.
