McCarthyist Zombies in green 

In the Philippines, they are known as supporters of presidential candidate Gilbert "Gibo" Teodoro. While they keep on telling the world that they practice positive campaigning and abhor mudslinging Gibo, they are the best definition of oxymoron as they do the exact opposite - they do character assassination in the form of red scare, an archaic practice which the late Joseph McCarthy popularized in the United States in the 1950s. This species was discovered in Facebook a few days before the Philippine national elections.

Neo-McCarthyism is when you investigate just about everything about everyone out of paranoia. Over-thorough secrurity inspections at airports are an example of Neo-McCarthyism. This term was coined by Mike Newhouse in the classic movie Dazed and Confused.
Mike: I didn't think drugs and alchohol were such a big deal they had to resort to Neo-McCarthyism to get rid of it.
Pink: I think they're just worried that some of us are having too good a time.
