As the Democratic Party is now the de facto DSA Party, it is time to take a look into the McCarthy era. The term McCarthyism is thrown out almost as much as Fascist. But how much do people actually know about it? Today’s show breaks it down.

“The left accuses everyone of McCarthyism. You hear it all the time now,” Crowder said. “What they mean to say is that it is wrongful political prosecution of an opponent, or a made-up problem just used to oppress or silence political opponents. It is a witch hunt, and it is based on the myth of the Red Scare.”

But what if this “myth” of the “Red Scare” was never actually a myth, and you are actually living it now?

“If we look back, it is not hard to see the Communist tracks,” Crowder said.

According to the left, McCarthyism is back, all thanks to Donald Trump. The left also believes McCarthy started the Red Scare. However, he did not; it was already prevalent and based on well-established information.

“He was part of the second Red Scare,” Crowder said. “The Democrats even supported the Communist Control Act of 1954 because they were concerned about the optics. It was passed almost unanimously. This idea that McCarthy was the first one to go out and invoke the concept of the Red Scare, no, he was operating off of information from institutions that required legislation.”

Another claim is that McCarthy overstated and lied about the Communist threat.

“Here is the truth: He pounced on the issue to build his personal brand because of the magnitude of the threat that had already been established,” Crowder said.

“The left does not believe that being an active Communist, meaning someone who seeks to destroy our constitutional republic and enslave other people, they don't believe that those folks should be jailed or face ramifications, but I do. I absolutely do, and I do not think that is anti-conservative. I do not think we should allow people to use our systems and freedoms to destroy them,” Crowder said.

McCarthy focused on government and the army, but Communists were and still are a problem in Hollywood.

“At least 300 members of the Hollywood entertainment industry were active Communist Party members in the United States, with many in positions of power, including in the labor unions,” Crowder said.

John Howard Lawson, the first president of the Screen Writers Guild, was actively involved in propaganda, including blocking anti-Communist scripts.

“The systems and institutions that exist ensure that leftist propaganda makes it through and accurate documentaries or historical context are blocked,” Crowder said.

Bella Dodd was a representative of the New York Teachers Union and also a member of the Communist Party.

“Could you draw a straight line from the founders of the teachers union and leftists today?” Crowder said. “The answer is yes.”
