To be a strong supporter of anti-communism, named after senator Joseph McCarthy. Often persecuting without proof and using tactics similar to the soviet KGB

Has nothing to do with Paul McCart(N)ey

Post-medieval witch hunt, and testiment to mankind's inherent flaws which will inevitably lead to its own destruction.

n unscrupulously accusing people of disloyalty (as by saying they were Communists).

In 1947, President Truman had ordered background checks of every civilian in service to the government. When Alger Hiss, a high-ranking State Department official was convicted on espionage charges, fear of communists intensified.

(McCarthy) capitalized on national paranoia by proclaiming that COMMUNIST SPIES were omnipresent and that he was America's only salvation.

Don't criticize the United States. Don't be different. Just conform.

To live according to the words of Prophet and Beatle Paul McCartney. Quickest way to get medicated. (other options, Ringoism, Lennonism)

The practice of obfuscating legitimate inquiries by flashing a toothy grin and speaking in vapid soundbites.

One who says things without proof. The origin of this word is from the early 1950s during the red scare. A man with the last name of mcCarthy was blacklisting celebrities without proof. This is the reason why a person would be called a McCarthiest.

When Melissa McCarthy gives a dead on perfect, no doubt, Emmy winning performance, mocking you in front the entire world... making you look like more of an asshat, than you already do to yourself. Truly McCarthyism at its finest.
