Bachmannism: the irrational, dangerous far-right, ideology characterized by the mass delusion that Democrats are harboring nonexistent terrorists, provoking violence against Democrats.

McCarthy saw Communists hiding under rocks, in his alcohol-fueled rants. Bachmann sees terrorists where they aren't there, but I don't know what she's using that makes her so irrational.
