A real dictionary will show you that McCarthy-esque allegations are specifically treasonous.
- tomnipotent 7y ago> You appear to have copy-pasted Wikipedia pretty much defines it the same way: "McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason without proper regard for evidence." > specifically treasonous Treason is one small dimension, use as a rhetorical device to make the real villain stand out - accusations without evidence.
