McCarthy's sin was to go after the problem with a shotgun and tar brush.  He so tainted the atmosphere that true agents, foreign and domestic operated for decades without much opposition.  Eveytime one was exposed, McCarthyism was cried from the rooftops. 

 

Of course, with the release of the Venona Papers and KGB files, we know some of the extent of the penetration.  I'm told there are thousands of pages of KGB papers still not translated.  Seems like scholars would be pouring over them like Jones over an Egyptian tomb.
