The best example would be the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution when one political party so whipped the nation into a frenzy over subversives, that decent law-abiding citizens were sent to the guillotine for disagreeing with the ruling class.
Sure other nations had persecutions, but this is the best example of a political party hijacking the government to seek out and destroy political enemies using fear of subversion. Most other examples are simply persecutions.

American Civil War, Revolutionary war...then there was the attitudes against Eastern Europeans in the early 1900's when the anarchist were popular in Europe- check out Sacco and Vancetti.
In short, McCarthyism was just one more time...

The witchcraft era and trials at Salem Village in Massachusetts in the 1600's. Much has been written about the trials including a great play.
