This article helps to bring attention to Mccarthy and his way of giving ‘information’. This is a reminiscent of February 9th 1950 when Mccarthy Speaking before the Ohio County Women’s Republican Club in Wheeling, West Virginia, Senator McCarthy waved before his audience a piece of paper. According to the only published newspaper account of the speech, McCarthy said that, “I have here in my hand a list of 205 [State Department employees] that were known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping the policy of the State Department.” In the next few weeks, the number fluctuated wildly, with McCarthy stating at various times that there were 57, or 81, or 10 communists in the Department of State. In fact, McCarthy never produced any solid evidence that there was even one communist in the State Department. This continued production of fake evidence made it so at any time any american could be charged with being a soviet spy. This gave americans the idea that the entire thing was a sham.
