McCarthy Video

Watch the video above, it is of a senate debate in 1950. I know it is a bit hard to follow, but pay specific attention to Joseph McCarthy, The guy with the light jacket, and a balding head. He talks about Communism a lot.

What is he saying?
Why does this matter?
What do you as an American think of it?
What is he trying to do?

Take some notes on the video and answer the above questions for homework.
