Hank Greenspun confronts Sen. Joseph McCarthy during a Republican rally at the War Memorial Building in Las Vegas in October 1952. McCarthy unintentionally calls Greenspun an ex-communist during the rally-- meaning to call him an ex-convict because of Greenspun's violation of the Neutrality Act by running arms to Israel. McCarthy exits the stage as Greenspun shouts, "Show me your proof." The quote becomes the rallying cry of McCarthy's foes.
