As Dwight Eisenhower ran against Adlai Stevenson for president in 1952, Herblock took him to task for not standing up to the smear campaign of Joseph McCarthy and Richard Nixon. On October 27, 1952, McCarthy denounced Stevenson on the radio, accusing him of aiding the communist cause. McCarthy, who had positioned himself as a national politician with an opinion worthy of interest, discredited Stevenson days before the presidential election on Tuesday, November 4.
