"McCarthy Comparisons. Was the U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy's (Left) ""Red Scare"" of the 1950s comparable to California State Senator Joe Dunn's (Right) ""Spy Scare"" in 2005? A U.S. Army lawyer stopped McCarthy's fear-mongering in its tracks with the question, ""Have you no decency Sir?"" Dunn dismissed Army Investigator Reports concluding the California National Guard neither spied on U.S. citizens nor infiltrated Code Red. Although Dunn's senate investigation convicted innocent Guardsmen of spying in the court of public opinion, Karma may have intervened to impose justice in Dunn's case when the California State Bar fired him as its executive director on allegations of ethic violations and filing fraudulent travel expenses.
