It's my understading that HUAC overlapped the time when McCarthy was active on the Senate side. But the fatal mistake that most on the left (especially in Hollywood and the media) make is that they attribute McCarthy with HUAC. Ann Coulter's book Treason is an excellent source for this era.

well, attributing a HOUSE committee to a Senator is patently ludicrous.

as i just discovered, the HUAAC/HUAC came to being in 1945 and stemmed from an earlier House shindig which began in 1938.

One whopper I know lefties spout is blaming McCarthy for the "Hollywood Blacklist" - an outcome of the HUAC dating to October 1947, whereas McCarthy did nothing worthy of note against communists until 09-FEB-1950, his famous "I have a list" speech concerning Reds and security liabilities in the State Department.

now, If I can find all this out in an easy ten minutes, sitting in my bedroom at my desk in my damned pyjamas...

why cannot well-paid Hollywood hacks do as well?
