Almost all that I have seen published about McCarthyism, during the era and afterwards, discusses the horrid negative effects of Tail-Gunner Joe's political activities; and almost all of that material is written by people who openly state their left-wing political viewpoint. Because the negative impact has been the major theme of discussions of the McCarthy era, and because it is difficult, though not impossible, to find an apologist for the activities of U.S. government officials and agencies in that era, I'm posting a Web site URL that has eleven links to discussions of McCarthyism, all written (as far as I know) by left-wing thinkers. One of them was a respected and influential Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, who often disregarded the law and wrote opinions based on his personal beliefs - to "invent" law, as it were. Here's the Web site: http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/mccarthy/mccarthy.htm

What Impact did Communism have on American society?

Americans spent a huge amount of money on a war that did not exist and wasn't going to. And Americans got a taste of communism themselves with McCarthyism.
