One was scapegoating suspected Communists. The other is about “He hates who we hate”.

I think there's an absolute connection. But it's not limited to McCarthyism. It's been the tool of authoritarians throughout history. You create an enemy, typically an easy target, blow their import out of proportion and then use fear to promote a unified response. You can never underestimate the power of "Us vs. Them."
