February 9, 1950 -  Senator Joe McCarthy (R-WI) delivered a Lincoln Day address to local Republicans in Wheeling, WV. He declared, "I have here in my hand a list of 205 [members of the Communist Party] still working and shaping policy in the State Department." McCarthy tapped into this current of anticommunism sentiment already embraced by the Republican Party and turned it into a flood.
