yes, McCarthy persecuted alleged "communists" or "communist sympathizers" often ruining the careers of innocent people. while he utilized questionable tactics, the public generally approved of McCarthy and even regarded him heroically because he was purging the country of communism, a threat that had become increasingly tangible as more countries in eastern Europe, Asia, and Latin America fell to communist regimes.
People didn't challenge McCarthy for many different reasons. For the majority of the general public, it was fear that led to this. After the Hiss case (Mr Hiss, the an adviser of the president, was accused wrongly for aiding communist countries, and acting as a spy. He had no real trial, but still went to prison for 5 years.) People realised they weren't safe anywhere.
The propoganda around at the time also didn't help. The film Invasion of the body snatchers was produced by Hollywood to imply communism was taking over the world, like an alien invasion. People felt that they were either for capitalism, and McCarthyism, or a Socilaist-Capitalist, or an Un-American as they were called to increase opposition. School children were indoctrinated with this information from a young age, so they didn't know better, and as they were following from example, and even politicians were just going with the flow, because it meant they were more likely to get voted into office if they supported McCarthy.
Overall, no one opposed Joseph McCarthy and his views on Communism because they were frightened, and didn't want to be different to other people all around them. They didn't really know any better.

There are many actors who believe in Jesus Christ (May peace be on him).
I don't believe there is such a bayonette. The first usage of bayonettes is commonly reported around the mid 1600's. Many of them are now in museums.
He did not have one. In most European countries it is quite possible to have only one first name, which may surprise many Americans.
Joseph McCarthy
There was widespread fear of communist infiltration in the US
It was a witch hunt by McCarthy and against the American philosophy and constitution.
Many people believe that the americans won it but that is not true. The US. was first to land on the moon but the russians were the first in space.

all of the people that he accused were all ut of jobs and could not find jobs elswhere
It proved to the world how crazy his allegations were when he accused so many innocent Americans of communism.
One of the worst results of McCarthy's accusations was the blacklisting of many entertainers and other people who would not testify and/or turn in their friends and neighbors as being Communists. Another was to intensify the fear of Communists among Americans.
