LEST WE FORGET:
"David Horowitz's Battlefield Academia
Sixties lefty turned right wing activist, provocateur, and GOP political consultant is leading a McCarthy-like charge on college campuses across the country...
At the beginning of the Cold War in the early 1950s, Joseph McCarthy, the infamous Republican Senator from Wisconsin, stalked the political landscape hurling reckless charges that hordes of Communists had infiltrated the U.S. government before, during and after World War II.

Sen. McCarthy and his band of self-proclaimed patriots also trained their guns on the creative community -- writers, directors and actors working in Hollywood and on Broadway -- as well as public school teachers and academics on college campuses across the country.
The hysteria these men stirred up through largely unsubstantiated charges caused thousands of people to lose their jobs. Some committed suicide."
