'''Joe McCarthy''' (Joseph Raymond McCarthy, November 14, 1908 – May 2, 1957) was a Republican [[United States Senate|U.S. Senator]] from [[Wisconsin]] 1947 to 1957.  He dominated the anti-communist movement in the U.S., 1950-54, until his career was ruined by censure by the Senate.  '''"McCarthyism"''' is the aggressive exposure of Communists influences in America and the people who protect them, with scant regard for due process.

Beginning in 1950, McCarthy became the most visible public figure to stand up to [[Communist]] infiltration of the [[United States]] government. He is now considered an American hero by many, though liberals still seek to tarnish his name.
