Play the free McCarthyism word game


Ever tried the McCarthyism word swap game? I do it all the time. It's easy, it's free, and you can become a McCarthyist in just a few easy moves!

Just find a current news item, replace the word 'terrorism', 'terrorist' or 'terror' with 'communism', or variants, and you get a good 50-years-ago time machine effect:

Secret communist courts considered
"Special courts sitting in secret for pre-trial hearings in terror (change it to communism) cases are being considered by the Home Office."
BBC

Try it yourself! Change 'terrorism' in Google News to 'communism' and travel back in time.

If you want to go back about one century, change 'terrorism' to 'anarchy or 'hun'.

It's fun and it's free. Play while we are still free too.
