  • McCarthyites

    I never heard this term before do I looked it up. I can see why you would use it on people who actively seek communist content and then complain about said communist content.

    Interestingly, I found this on the Wikipedia page for McCarthyism:

    President Harry S. Truman’s Executive Order 9835 of March 21, 1947, required that all federal civil-service employees be screened for “loyalty”. The order said that one basis for determining disloyalty would be a finding of “membership in, affiliation with or sympathetic association” with any organization determined by the attorney general to be “totalitarian, fascist, communist or subversive” or advocating or approving the forceful denial of constitutional rights to other persons or seeking “to alter the form of Government of the United States by unconstitutional means”.[13]
