The pursuit of communist spies should have been left to normal channels which in fact were still maintained during the McCarthy show trials which did indeed split the country. As far as being a normal citizen communist or sympathizer, there was not law against that even during the time of the trials.

Agree again. Many of my friends and family had lives ruined as a result and many of them were communists too. There was nothing wrong with that. They still have a communist party here too. The fact that the Soviets infiltrated the communist parties, or other organizations in the US did not mean that all people associated with those organizations were traitors or disloyal Americans.
