Best Answer

Sen. Joseph McCarthy instituted a series of "witch hunts" in which people who were suspected of Communist ties were brought in and publicly questioned. The suspicions were often based on hearsay and violated the privacy of those questioned. McCarthism refers to the mindset and techniques used by McCarthy. He seemed to believe that everyone was a dangerous communist until he could prove otherwise.
