Once again, I've placed the most outrageously idiotic statements in bold, so you can savour the bias and willing ignorance in its full glory.

The real message here:
"Communism wasn't so bad, let's give it another try, only this time we'll get it right. And as far as those 100 million kulaks and class enemies and saboteurs who were executed or worked to death in Gulags? So what? You can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs. The ends justify the means."

People have often wondered why she did not do it for the sake of her sons, Michael Meeropol said.
Because she was a committed communist, and she cared more about becoming a martyr for the Cause than she did for her children.

Great post, thanks for posting. I'm sure had they been spying against Stalin instead of for him, they would have gotten far better treatment. And I'm sure that point is made in the film. NOT.

People have often wondered why she did not do it for the sake of her sons, Michael Meeropol said.By numerous accounts, Ethel's two young sons were spoiled brats that she could hardly control. The Meerpols who adopted them were communists and the boys grew up as red-diaper babies. Their book, "We Are Your Sons", was a determined defense of their parent's innocence, but that was before the translated Venona messages were released. The Feds couldn't use them at the time of the Rosenbergs' trial, because they didn't want the Soviets know they had them.

"I think the film has done a really good job of identifying the legitimacy of accepting ambiguity and uncertainty. Just sheesh...

Great Job.
Redford is a true Watermelon. Green on the outside and very red on the inside.
He is a truly vile POS!

Straight outta the "How To Be A Liberal" Hnadbook.

Redford's operation openly becoming an outlet for Socialist/Communist propogranda; Gene Lyons also showcasing a film there about the "hunting" of Clinton. Redford is no longer attempting to hide his true colors, having recently given money to Che Guevera's widow.
A review of some of the movies he's been in:
The Candidate - Message of cynicism and hopelessness about the political process.
The Way We Were - Glorified the leftist message of the socialist figure (played by Streisand) and denigrated the capitalistic crowd who persecuted her.
3 Days of the Condor - Depicted the CIA as a ruthless, bloodless group who even killed their own people to achieve their ends.
All the Presidents Men - Glorification of Woodward and Bernstein.

The warning sticker below should be posted whenever the Watermelon Redford says or does anything. As you have noted he has ignored the mass murdering commy leaders for decades. He loves Fidel!

Redford played Mr.Death on an episode of The Twilight Zone (it's probably still the best thing he's ever been in). Now, he hawks films which glorify history's real-life Grim Reapers.
To: Travis McGee
No there isn't. We had one for awhile and it disappeared.
Maybe we can get a good graphic artist to help us.

Yep, you nail green all over on the outside and red in the center Redford.

The Meeropols are convinced Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were railroaded, yet the film makes clear that the family believes Julius may have been a spy and that Ethel likely would have been aware of her husband's activities. They were probably guilty and yet they were railroaded...
These were her grandparents so you have to cut her some slack I suppose, but this is not clear thinking. Maybe she is thinking about the unfairness of it, some traitors go to jail, some get elected to high office.

Second that description of REDford as a vile POS.
"Communism wasn't so bad, let's give it another try, only this time we'll get it right. And as far as those 100 million kulaks and class enemies and saboteurs who were executed or worked to death in Gulags? So what? You can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs. The ends justify the means."
Perfect description of the message. KGB files have long ago nailed all the supposed victims of Cold War hysteria, as so nicely documented in Ann Couletr's "Treason".
