- Today we are engaged in a final, all-out battle between communistic atheism and Christianity. The modern champions of communism have selected this as the time, and ladies and gentlemen, the chips are down — they are truly down.

- Any man who has been given the honor of being promoted to general and who says, "I will protect another general who protects Communists," is not fit to wear that uniform, general.

All of the above were a direct quote from senator Joseph mccarthy during the red scarce, when He tried to scare the public on potential communists spies in united states.

He dramatized the situation by completely turn the narrative into good versus evil rather than the battle between two economic ideology. After that, he often misinterpret the sentence spoken by his political competitors and dramatized them so their name is sullied in the eyes of the public.
