Political climate of the 1950s

http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAmccarthy.htm

I read a small biography on Joseph McCarthy. Joseph McCarthy was born into a Roman Catholic family.  He left school at the age of 14 and then began working as a chicken farmer before managing a grocery store in the nearby town called Manawa. McCarthy wanted to become run as a Democrat canditate, but failed and then became a Republican candidate to become a circuit court judge. McCarthy played a dirty campaign. He falsely that his oppenent was 73 when he was actually 66. McCarthy joined the Marines in WWII and then afterwards while running for senate he claimed he had been through 32 missions when all he did was desk work and only flew in training exercises. 

From reading this I learned that McCarthy is a bad man. My mom would not like him at all and she probaly didn't like it either. McCarthy was a big liar pants and was not liked by very many people.
