32. That lets far too many people off the hook
McCarthy was simply the most public face for the Red Scare/Witch Hunts/HUAAC. Far too many Americans either participated in or openly supported the America First'ers, and even more stayed silent and allowed them to do what they were doing. It wasn't just *one person* who flooded our nation with hatred- just as today, it is due more to the groupthink/mob mentality of so many in our country.
