And yet they still complain that Joe didn't get his facts right. I can't count the number of anti-McCarthy rants I've stopped short with that simple fact. The actual history of that era has been deliberately and wildly distorted by pro-Communists.
I've even had some people tell me that their "uncle" or "father," etc. were "blacklisted" and called before the HCUA, then pilloried by McCarthy. They turn red-faced and sputter a lot when they're caught in such an obvious lie. McCarthy had absolutely nothing to do with Hollywood blacklisting or HCUA.

I bought Rumsfeld’s book (which sadly, I cannot return) and was appalled, angered and saddened to hear him in his book pile into McCarthy with the same BS I fully expect to hear from Liberals.
Then he came out with his pro-homosexual stand, and I just cannot express how disillusioned, demoralized and saddened that made me.

One of my more amusing incidents regarding McCarthy was a friend who told me he could never forgive Joe for what he did to Bert Parks. Bert, not Larry.
Where do you even begin?

"McCarthy had absolutely nothing to do with Hollywood blacklisting or HCUA."
Actually, HUAC had nothing to do with Hollywood blacklisting. Hollywood censured itself when the hollywood big wigs thought they had a commie in their presense. But we never hear about that from today's leftist elitists...
