[Your Nightmare]

Nowadays, nobody bothers to point out that the phrase "McCarthyism" first appeared in the pages of the Communist Party’s organ in the U.S., the Daily Worker, which got it directly from the bowels of the NKVD’s Moscow headquarters at 3 Dzerzinski Square, where it was coined by the Stalinist disinformation experts in the belief that leftist useful idiots in the U.S. would adopt it as their own. Which of course they did, eagerly, and continue to do so even today.

I thought the first use of "McCarthyism" was in a NY Times political cartoon on March 29, 1950:

[Your Nightmare]

Sorry, that's a Washington Post cartoon.

And when and who did the cartoonist get his "inspiration" from? (Wouldn't you have to establish that Red Square sent its' "public" warning after the cartoon ?)
