HERBLOCK, Washington Post
Herblock drew parallels between the tactics of Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy's mud-slinging and Soviet Union propaganda, finding each approach unacceptable. He demanded that moderate Republicans take responsibility for McCarthy's actions. In reaction to the quest for communists in the United States, Herblock wrote, "there was real pleasure in having an outlet for my anger instead of imploding with it."
