It was in the 1950s. The fact is, there were a great number of Communists in our government at that time. This was confirmed in the early 1990's when documents made their way out of the Soviet Union.
What has inflamed the hatred against the late senator was not the fact that he was accusing innocent people (he never did), but that he was turning the heat up on guilty people. It really hit the fan when he shined his spotlight on high officials in Washington who were trying to shield the Communists in our government.
For more detailed information check out:
www.thenewamerican.com and search under McCarthy. There are several articles about him.

Perhaps if you tried the right date? The year was 1950.
