McCarthy had a view of the world that was full of communism and ready to work to turn the United States into a communist state. So, he set out to prove that there were people, mainly in the movie industry, who were communist agents. He felt that some of the movies made had communistic themes and many screenwriters were "black balled" from working.
Senator Joseph McCarthy pretended to pursue communism but it was seen by many as a way of publicizing himself. He was seen as a demagogue who preyed upon people's fears and prejudices for personal gain and in the process destroyed many people's lives.President Dwight Eisenhouer said, "Senator McCarthy is, of course, so anxious for the headlines that he is prepared to go to any extremes in order to secure some mention of his name in the public press."
