 | | In 1952 McCarthy appointed Roy Cohn as the chief counsel to the Government Committee on Operations of the Senate. | | | Benton, who was also accused of being disloyal by Joseph McCarthy for having much of his company's work printed in England, was defeated in the 1952 elections. | | | Senator McCarthy is, of course, so anxious for the headlines that he is prepared to go to any extremes in order to secure some mention of his name in the public press. |

| | The New McCarthyism? - Campus Watch |
| | McCarthy was vicious to opponents and most politicians shrunk from criticizing him. | | | Growing opposition to the lack of evidence and the blind malice evident in McCarthy's attacks eventually prompted the Senate to condemn him by a vote of 67-22 on December 2, 1954. | | | The term McCarthyism originated with the actions of Senator Joseph McCarthy (1908-57) of Wisconsin, four years after his first election in 1946. |

| | However, in December the Senate, acting on a motion of censure against him, voted to “condemn” McCarthy for contempt of a Senate elections subcommittee that had investigated his conduct and financial affairs in 1952, for abuse of certain senators, and for insults to the Senate itself during the censure proceedings. | | | In 1946, McCarthy defeated Senator Robert M. La Follette, Jr., for the Republican senatorial nomination and then overwhelmed his Democratic opponent in the election. | | | When the Republicans assumed control of Congress in 1953, McCarthy, who had been reelected in 1952, became chairman of the Senate permanent investigations subcommittee (Government Operations Committee), a post in which he wielded great power; he used his position to exploit the public's fear of Communism. |
