#1 MacCarthyism: Two death sentences (for handling vital info about the A bomb to the soviets), under half a dozen jail sentences, under two hundred governement employees and about same number of employees working in the armament industry lost their jobs.

On the other side the regime the "victims of MaCarthyism" were trying to implement in America was killing or working to death an average of five hundred people a day

#2 What I've never understood was that McCarthy was a Senator but the ones going after the Communists were in the House of Representatives. Was he just the most vocal? or did McCarthyism just have a nice ring?

#3 Let me see.
You can lose your job as University president for suggesting that maybe men and women are not psychologically interchangeable. You are forced to resign from company presidency for opposing gay marriage. You are fascist racist for suggesting that Muslims who kill in the name of Allan are Muslims. Don't even think of applying for academic tenure, or public service unless you can establish your leftist bona fides.
And we are McCarthyists?
