The sentence (the term) has its origins in the period in the United States known as the Second Red Scare, lasting from the late 1940s through the 1950s appears to be circular since "Second Red Scare" is essentially a synonym for McCarthyism. Volunteer Marek 07:11, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Second Red Scare (1947–1957) vs. McCarthyism ?
There exists McCarthyism and section Second Red Scare (1947–1957) in Red Scare. Are the both terms synonims or there exists a difference between them? Both texts quote different sources, perhaps some integration is needed? Xx236 (talk) 06:45, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
American anti-communist propaganda of the 1950s, specifically addressing the entertainment industry
The picture suggests close connection between the McCarthyism and the leaflet, is it true? Xx236 (talk) 06:27, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Is "are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist Party of the United States" a verbatim quote?
The sources for this quote aren't transcripts or official documents, they're books written some time after the fact. Not that I doubt the question was asked -- obviously it was -- but how are we sure that this is the precise way it was said? I think we should have a source that unambiguously says that this is the exact phrase used in questioning, or else not have it in quotes in the article. I mention this only because it's a very well-known phrase, quoted often, but it seems strange for there to not be direct quotations of it.
By way of comparison: tons of people watched Star Trek, and tons of people think that "Beam me up, Scotty" is something Captain Kirk said in that show, because he is always asking Scotty to beam him up, but it turned out years later (once we got transcripts and home video and et cetera) he actually never said it once. jp×g 11:58, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
