    And in this statement I believe you have identified the gist of how the term came about and why only McCarthy is identified. The sad thing about the whole time period is that McCarthy was not the worst of them.
    O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean

    Not the worst no, but the first so the name has stuck. If the witch hunts were his legacy then why try to whitewash him in the original article? It has very little relevance now and McCarthy seems to be nobody's hero (except to a certain confused individual who isn't aware that the US actually did "win" the Cold War.
