The guy was a Commie & left-wing loon.

Hollywood has a blacklist today.

I think it’s time to watch “On the Waterfront” again.

Thanks for the links. The AP hagiographical review was in the local paper this morning but didn’t have time to track down other sources. Bookmarking for further reading...

Trumbo was a flaming hypocrite. Wrote “Johnny Got His Gun” to sap the warfighting will of the west prior to WWII, then tried to suppress the book when fighting meant saving his precious Soviet Union.

Cranston is a fine actor, but as the article makes clear, he doesn't really know anything about history.

Those interested in the true story of Dalton Trumbo should read this: Hollywood Traitors: Blacklisted Screenwriters--Agents of Stalin, Allies of Hitler by Allan H. Ryskind.

Was required to read Johnny Got His Gun freshman year in college. I won’t be seeing this movie, which I am sure is sympathetic to Trumbo.

Instead of fretting about this whitewash crapola, check out Stalin: Inside the Terror, on YouTube. A BBC2 documentary from 2003.

All that needs to be said about Dalton Trumbo and his inhuman peers is that they were all in favor of what Stalin was doing, and wanted Stalinist terror in America.

If anyone deserved hanging for treason, it was these monsters, and their descent today.

Evening Star. Is this the real “you”? If so, welcome back. Your contributions are always spot on.

To other commenters:

Alan Ryskind spent many years working on his book about the Hollywood Blacklist and the great work his patriotic father, Morrie Ryskind, did in the Screenwriters Guild to keep the reds out.

I worked for Alan for years. He’s one of our unsung patriots who has been in the trenching fighting for freedom since the 1960’s.

Re Trumbo, contempt of Congress and jail time, vs. nothing for Holder, Lerner, Kosiken (sp)(IRS), Hillary, etc.

Back in those days (1940’s and early 50’s, American patriots were in Congress and clamped down on Communists, the Mafia, etc.

Today we have cowards, whimps, pansies, commies, socialists (I’m being repetitive here), Democrats (and again), greedy slimebags and crooks (both Dems and Repubs).

Real Republicans/conservatives would have held Holder, Hillary, Lerner etc not only in Contempt of Congress, but enforced it with jail time.

Holding someone in contempt is no longer a badge of shame. To the Left it is a badge of honor (in my real world, a badge of dishonor).
