There was widespread fear of communist infiltration in the US

A United States Senator famous for accusing numerous workers and politicians in the Federal Government of being Communist spies between 1950-4. Hundreds of people had their careers ruined, and although the witch-hunts would have probably happened without McCarthy, he became the most visible figure of it. After McCarthy tried to look for subversive figures in the Army, they retaliated by exposing much of his tactics. In 1954, the Senate agreed to give his a censure - a formal reprimand. By the time he died of a liver illness in 1957, he was disgraced and had turned to the drink.

The Army-McCarthy Hearings of 1954 led to Sen Joseph McCarthy's massive loss of popularity and his later censure.

The hearings were an offshoot of McCarthy's campaigns to uncover subversives in government operations, with his attacks on the U.S. Army leading to the first televised government hearings in U.S. history, the Army-McCarthy hearings of 1954.

Airing on national television from April 22 and June 17, 1954, for 188 hours of broadcast time in front of 22 million viewers. McCarthy’s frequent interruptions and his calls of "point of order" made him the object of national ridicule.

On June 9, the hearings reached their moment of greatest drama, when Army Counsel Joseph Welch told McCarthy " I think I never really gauged your cruelty, or your recklessness. .... Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"

The gallery broke into applause and two weeks later the hearings came to an inconclusive finish.

Well deep inside you can always delipirtabley depend on annoucation meaning it demolished or de considered and disnergrated his chances of being optimistaic so it would make him unworthy or even diabolical.

Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin was known for being VERY anti-communist. Attacks (and I don't mean physical) on suspected communist were even refered to as McCarthyism.

Joseph McCarthy was a US Senator in the 1950's, and McCarthyism was a political movement that McCarthy created, based upon a paranoid fear of communist subversion.

Joseph McCarthy was a senator from Wisconsin who led the Red Scare. This permeated all levels of society. McCarthy greatly exaggerated communism. He was an alcoholic. In 1950 he was facing a losing campaign. He claimed to know communists in the American government and also claimed that China fell to communism because of these people; He was lying though. Truman called him fraud but people still bought into his ideas. McCarthyism was successful because it offered easy answers and explanations for why China fell to communism and why we couldn't bring capitalism to Korea. There was partial truth to the need of fear, because there were spies caught spying on our atomic weapons. McCarthyism started to decline after Republicans cut off his support and he attacked the military and the Marshal Plan. As a result of McCarthyism, the state department loses the Asian experts and Americans learn a lesson that not everything is a communist plot.

He instigated a lot of accusations against people on the ground of them being communists despite there rarely ever being any solid evidence behind any of his claims.

He was a senator from Wisconson.

He was only stopped once he started turning his conspiracies on communism to point at the army.

He had little to no proof of his accusations. The media was showing this and discussing his harsh tactics.The senate censured him because of his vulgarity and he lost almost all of his power.Finally he ended up drinking himself to death.

McCarthy was a US Senator from Wisconsin who made a name for himself in the 1950s as a staunch anti-communist. He made numerous unsubstantiated accusations of being communist sympathizers against members of the media and Hollywood.

Senator Joseph McCarthy investigation of communists in the US government and in the entertainment business ultimately came to an end when the US Congress censured him. His investigative tactics were judged to be extreme and President Eisenhower agreed with the censure.

McCarthyism was a modern day witch hunt with anyone who had ever even talked to a communist being immediately guilty.

67 US Senators censured McCarthy.

Communist Americans and others who disagree with the majority, continue to live in the US. McCarthy's attempt to drive out people who didn't agree with him failed miserably.

US citizens had to be carefull how they exercised their freedom of speech during the McCarthy era. Rumors and gossip concerning communism could get those individuals investigated as being communists.

NONSENSE!

"...These intercepted cables proved that there were over 350 Americans spying for the Soviets, and enabled investigators to identify about half of them. Joe McCarthy had access to the information contained in the top secret Venona intercepts, access given him by J. Edgar Hoover and others concerned with the extent of Soviet espionage and penetration, but he could not defend himself against charges of recklessly accusing people of being Soviet agents by revealing the source of his information without alerting the Soviets that some of their most important secrets were known to U.S. Intelligence..."

His mind slowly eroded until he became obsessed with yelling about demons under his bed in the middle of the streets. Shortly after that his imaginary friend stabbed him.

There were about 300 people that were accused by Joseph McCarthy as either being Communist or sympathizing with Communism. When the lists were made public, all of these individuals were illegally blacklisted. This means that they were fired from their jobs, shunned, and were unable to find other work. Some people were given the opportunity to clear their name in a long, drawn-out process. Very few people actually cleared their name this way. Most people were just forced to suffer through the blacklisting. McCarthy's accusations irreparably damaged many careers. The reputations and livelihoods of hundreds of people were ruined.

Senator Joseph McCarthy did not believe that Hollywood stars would play a part of any communist uprising. He knew there would be none. Hollywood stars and writers came to his attention because a number of Hollywood "people" were members of the US Communist Party.

It depends on which Joseph Mc coy your reffering to. Dr. Joseph McCoy-once leader of the McCoy gang died at age 36 in Southern ,Il.

Senator McCarthy's motives for his hearings were for, as he stated, to uncover communists in the US government and in the film industry as well. His hearings finally caused him to be censored by the Senate & criticized by US President Eisenhower. McCarthy ruined the lives of many people during these hearings. As an aside, Robert F. Kennedy and attorney Roy Cohen were for a time on McCarthy's staff.

The senate censured him

They were not. The Salem witch Trials were compared to the MaCarthy trials because of the fear of something considered evil infiltrating a community. They are not related, just similiar.
