HUAC and Joseph McCarthy

Senator Joseph McCarthy was very outspoken about Communism, and it seemed like he wanted to accuse people if the slightest bit of information was found out about them. About those lists that he claimed to have: how could that be possible? Why would he have a huge list of Communists? It's not likely that any of those people were even Communists, he just persecuted them because he thought that they were Communists. It is just like in the Crucible, and it makes sense that Miller would try to explain what they were doing through the analogy. No one in Salem had actually ever been seen doing witchcraft, other people just blamed them of it. It was not fair or just for either story: people were being falsely accused and then executed or jailed. Also, if they confessed that they had seen others doing it, they got off the hook and those other people would be accused. It makes no sense: this is completely opposite of what justice should be. It looks like McCarthy was racist and biased in certain aspects, and of course he did not want his good name soiled, so he accused people falsely. That is so unfair and unconstitutional, what they did. Adding someone to a terrorist list or the black list just because of what they thought? There was no proof of anything. It looks like the witch hunts have not stopped, either, and that many are being falsely accused and convicted of nothing. All someone has to do is point the finger and they are off the hook but another is on the hook. That sure is how justice should be around here (sarcastically).
