Understanding Senator Joseph McCarthy's Crusade in The 50s.

 It is quite simple to understand. Joe wanted to root out potentially dangerous, political animals from being able to manipulate the film world and turn it into a leftist propaganda machine. (As it happens, that is precisely what did occur. He was not in error.)

These people were called Communists, and apparently, this was an intrusive and deadly misuse of the democratic process to remove them - or was it?
Let us examine the matter.
Let us assume that these propagandists had actually belonged something called the Nazi Party - a group responsible for many fewer deaths than those lost in the fight for communism.
Would that have been okay? 

- Ah. I thought so! The customary double standards.

How do ordinary people fall for this?

Birdies.
