It's been said that towards the end of his time as senator nobody would talk to McCarthy on Capitol Hill. He had accused almost all of them so he wasn't exactly blessed with friends.
In his defence (never thought I'd say that) he stuck to politicians. Someone else took up the banner for Hollywood, though the two phases have both picked up the McCarthyism label. Small matter; they're interchangeable.
