www.loc.gov/rr/print/swann/herblock/fire.htmlHere is a website relating to McCarthyism. It has a number of published cartoons leading up to the naming of McCarthyism and so forth. It is a different way to learn about McCarthyism and that period of history. It also allows our generation to see the cartoons that depicted to the development of McCarthyism.

Here is an interesting right-winged take on McCarthyism from conservative columnist Anne Coulter. This passage is from her book Treason "The myth of "McCarthyism" is the greatest Orwellian fraud of our times. Liberals are fanatical liars, then as now. The portrayal of Sen. Joe McCarthy as a wild-eyed demagogue destroying innocent lives is sheer liberal hobgoblinism. Liberals weren't hiding under the bed during the McCarthy era. They were systematically undermining the nation's ability to defend itself, while waging a bellicose campaign of lies to blacken McCarthy's name. Liberals denounced McCarthy because they were afraid of getting caught, so they fought back like animals to hide their own collaboration with a regime as evil as the Nazis." www.rightwingnews.com/quotes/coultertreason.php |
