Have you noticed the war on terror, government and news plays the exaggerated versions just as McCarthy played Communism against our own people and government. The selling point to protect us from communism in the 50's were bomb shelters. what is the selling point to protect us from terrorist today?

Oh God I love it!!!
I am so glad another person sees the connection between then and now.
McCarthy would be proud of the Bush adminstration. I cant say Republican Party, because Bush is no Republican.

Typical distortion of the truth of McCarthy's sideshow to the real anti-Communist work by Congress, through HUAC and other committees.
Get a grip on historical truth, and your mind might not get cluttered with inanities like this.

I wouldn't call 9/11 an exaggeration by any means.
And I suppose the fear brought on by Cuba having missles sights and possible nuclear capability was all just proaganda, too?
