===Condemnation===
While, over the past few years, Senator McCarthy withstood countless biased and unsubstantiated attacks by [[Liberals]], [[Communists]], etc., the organized effort to remove McCarthy from his Chairmanship and officially condemn him began in the Spring of 1954. It was started by fellow [[Republican]] Senator [[Ralph E. Flanders]] of [[Vermont]] at the behest of a coalition of Communists, Liberals, and [[Eisenhower Administration]] officials. Flanders told the Senate that McCarthy's "anti-Communism so completely parallels that of [[Adolf Hitler]] as to strike fear into the hearts of any defenseless minority"; accused McCarthy of spreading "division and confusion" and saying, "Were the Junior Senator from Wisconsin in the pay of the Communists he could not have done a better job for them."<ref>
