<span>Joseph Raymond McCarthy was an American politician who served as U.S. Senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957. Beginning in 1950, McCarthy became the most visible public face of a period in the United States in which Cold War tensions fueled fears of widespread Communist subversion. He is known for alleging that numerous Communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers had infiltrated the United States federal government, universities, film industry, and elsewhere. Ultimately, the smear tactics that he used led him to be censured by the U.S. Senate. The term "McCarthyism", coined in 1950 in reference to McCarthy's practices, was soon applied to similar anti-communist activities. Today, the term is used in reference to what are considered demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character or patriotism of political opponents.

Which is an example of a time when it is legal to restrict citizen's speech?
Evgesh-ka [11]

An example of a time when citizen's right to free speech can be restricted is when their speech impedes national security. For example, Freedom of Speech was greatly restricted during wars (such as WWII), when national security depended on people keeping quiet to not leak information to foreign spies. This was expanded on by the usage of propoganda, and was usually enforced by Civil Officers. Freedom of Speech however generally is not restricted, even when it hurts another group, as seen in <em>National Socialist Party of America v. Village of Skokie</em>, which, while the Justice sympathized with the people of Skokie, it ruled that freedom of speech cannot be denied to even hate groups.
