I was surprised to see a major FoxNews report on the Rosenberg trial the other day. Every once in a while, the treasons committed by notorius leftists such as Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs are exhumed, and some present-day leftists try to cast doubt on their guilt. One of the witnesses, who himself was a spy for the Soviets, recently recanted his 55 year old testimony against the Rosenbergs; and their sons, who spent their lifetimes arguing the innocence of their parents, have gone in the other direction. We should always remember that all communists, socialists and modern liberals lie whenever it suits them in order to advance their cause of collectivism.

So then why didn’t we fry the Walkers and Jonathan Pollard?
I'm not knowledgeable enough about Pollard to say, but I would definitely have hanged Walker.
At the time of the Walker case the government's preferred mode of capitol punishment was still the electric chair.
What bothers me about the Rosenbergs is not that they fried but that they were the only ones. I'd prefer that the do it in all cases.
I hate traitors, but I can do without another McCarthy, a drunk who destroyed the lives of many innocent people.
Mr. Obama, are you now, or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party USA?
Name them.
I agree. I understand about the method of execution, I was "editorializing" a bit.
These people never give up... Pacifica radio was whining about Sacco and Vanzetti the other day... sheesh...
“Another big government authoritarian witch hunt? No thanks.”
Well, we are talking about Communists here. This is much more than a “witch hunt.” Let’s recall that witches aren’t real. Communists and their threat to freedom are. Kill them all...
His words were later twisted to say he knew the names of communists and was on a witch hunt. However, most of the original names were on the Reid list, which had previously been addressed to Congress. Some of the people on said list merely left one gov't position and got another
That said every last name McCarthy had turned out to be a communist or fellow traveler holding a government position.
Try reading "Black Listed by History," the other went to great lengths to provide copies of the charts and FBI files... its a lot more accurate than the "McCarthy=Bad" regurgitation..... furthermore the Venona files confirmed that McCarthy was right and so did Russia after the dissolution of the USSR.
Personally, I'm for limited gov't, but we have the FBI for a reason; to protect against domestic threat. And if our do-nothings in Congress actually listenend to them and allowed them to do their job, maybe we would read shocking stories about Hamas operatives that worked at the FBI and CIA BEFORE they did significant damage to the country, or before communists use their position to insure China goes red.
McCarthy had no authority, but to bring information he received to light.... which included people (working in signals intelligence and the Code room at the Pentagon) actively providing info to the reds.
Just because a lie is repeated often by sympathizing-hack "authors" and NEA troops (read public school teachers) doesn't make it true.
I have a YTube response to this thread:

should be the author went to great
I don't think the MSM is going to trumpet this one...
Because we live in a “kinder and gentler” society where PC is the norm.
Here we sit around, afraid to insult anyone by ‘questioning their patriotism’ while they put a communist in the White House.
