1. The most hideous part of McCarthy's witch hunt

was that it never was, was not, and is not now a crime to be a member of the Communist Party. He ruined lives and careers and sent innocent people to prison over absolutely nothing. It was guilt by gossip and anyone who wouldn't supply that man and his enablers like Roy Cohn and Richard Nixon with gossip were judged to be in contempt of Congress. And so they were, that particular Congress deserved nothing but utter contempt.

Murrow was one of the few people in the whole country with enough clout to take that drunken bastard on. And no, at long last, McCarthy had no shame. That was his main problem.
