A member of the Democratic Party, he served as a United States Senator from New Hampshire from 1962 to 1979. During World War II, he served in the U. S. Army from 1942 to 1946. He was assigned to the 94th Infantry Division and later served in the Third Army under General George S. Patton, participating in all the major European campaigns. He earned four battle stars, the Combat Infantryman Badge, and the Bronze Star Medal. Following the death of Senator Styles Bridges in November 1961, McIntyre ran to fill Bridges's unexpired term. He was the first Democratic Senator elected from New Hampshire since 1932. In 1978, he was narrowly defeated for re-election to a fourth term. McIntyre published The Fear Brokers, in 1979, co-authored with John Obert. In his book, McIntyre described the New Right across the nation, focusing on the struggle in his home state. John Obert was a noted journalist and civil servant who served for a time on Senator McIntyre's staff. This book once belonged to William A. Schofield's of Keene, New Hampshire. It is believed that this person was the founder of Residential Resources, Inc. also of Keene, New Hampshire whose life espoused the improved social conditions Senator McIntyre's so tellingly wrote about in this book. Derived from a Kirkus Review: Though it sounds initially like a political tract, this scrutiny of the Radical Right by former Senator Thomas J. McIntyre is evenhanded and in some respects revealing. Following testimonials to the New Hampshire Democrat (one from Senator Mark Hatfield), McIntyre himself traces the Right's growth, tactics (some, he admits, shared by the Radical Left), goals, and success--with analysts like Richard Hofstadter and Daniel Bell as backdrop. Aiming to take over or replace the Republican Party and move the Democrats to the Right, they are appealing to Middle America via "interest and status politics"--a "potent meld of single-issue constituencies." They joined patriotic organizations against the Panama Canal treaties and California tax associations for Proposition 13--while traditional, social-minded centrist coalitions shattered. Directed by political mastermind Richard Viguerie, they have become pragmatic since 1964, with direct-mail campaigns and computers. McIntyre uses New Hampshire as a case study, focusing on publisher William Loeb and former Governor Meldrim Thomson. Besides familiar stories about Loeb's Manchester Union-Leader and shocking Thomson quotes, McIntyre shows how the two have contributed to New Hampshire's tax and environmental problems, squelching debate on these issues. The message: Defeat the "fear brokers" through political education and improved social conditions.
