Two United States Senators with very different backgrounds and accomplishments:
1) Joseph McCarthy. Vilified by liberals since the 1950's for his investigations into Communist infiltration of the U.S. government, but was later vindicated when the Russian government released secret KGB documents after the Soviet Union collapsed. "McCarthyism" is named after him.
2) Eugene McCarthy. Ran for the Democratic Party's Presidential nomination in 1968 and opposed the war in Vietnam.

"I'm giving you an 'F' on your paper on Senator McCarthy."
"But, professor, I worked really hard on it!"
"Yes, I know, but you wrote about the wrong one."

Get the Brayden McCarthy mug.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.
These McCarthyist Zombies in green are very supportive of eliminating activists in the Philippines based on how they behave on Facebook.
