ON this date in 1950 - U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy charged that the State Department was riddled with Communists.

This was the beginning of "McCarthyism."

Bun Man and Mr. Purple, both working in low level State Dept. jobs at the time, were charged due to having pen pals from Russia.

Seems figuring out how similar regular citizens from each country were was against what Joey thought America should be about.

Thank God, McCarthy was found out to be the ASS that he was.
