Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour brought to you by out routing communism It's tough

00:08

to do but with a good cheer routine anything is

00:10

possible Rooting out communism well man all that your practice

00:15

for nothing Well okay take a look at this image

00:19

right there There you go mccarthy pal All right he

00:21

was questioned The previous image best serves as an example

00:25

of which of the following and here a potential answers

00:31

There Okay but let's first take a moment to appreciate

00:34

how great a mean this image would be We'd call

00:37

it annoying lecturing guy Just look how miserable and fed

00:42

up dude on the left looks okay Okay So maybe

00:45

mccarthy wasn't boring the pants off Everyone in the room

00:48

What was he actually going on and on about Was

00:51

this the beginnings of the development of the hydrogen bomb

00:54

Well no way This photo was taken in nineteen Fifty

00:56

for well after initial developments of the h bomb began

01:00

it was our pal joey attempting to grow the debate

01:02

about america's national energy policy No no dice This was

01:05

brought on by the emergence of the oil crisis in

01:08

the middle east Not some paranoid senator in washington Besides

01:12

mccarthy was way too busy worrying about communism to even

01:14

think about that whole energy for the entire country bit

01:18

So was it a rbi Well one more look at

01:20

the image and the answer becomes clear Does this image

01:23

really look like it's depicting someone presenting a fair and

01:27

balanced discussion on the two sides of an issue Or

01:30

does it look like someone holding an interrogation meeting came

01:33

To instill fear in the masses by suggesting there were

01:37

communists everywhere that needed to be exposed Okay well maybe

01:40

our phrasing was a bit of the spoiler there While

01:43

the entire country seemed in favor of containing communism To

01:45

some degree americans were still divided as to whether it

01:48

was necessary to take extreme measures to root out communists

01:51

in hiding Mccarthy here was at the helm of the

01:54

extreme faction Holding interrogation is like the one seen here

01:59

though judging by the grossed out look on the face

02:01

of the woman in the back there Well maybe mccarthy 00:02:03.492 --> [endTime] was dropping some bombs of his own Yeah
