Thanks for posting this. Just today I was reading the book GODS AND MONSTERS by Peter Bart, a movie critic with a socialist bent, and was shaking my head about his comments in a piece on ON THE WATERFRONT. Whatever my feelings about HUAC, it's always made me laugh that the Hollywood crowd couldn't forgive Elia Kazan for testifying (even with permission from some of those he named) against the most murderous regime of our time, yet they have no problem giving an Oscar to the child-rapist Roman Polanski.
That pretty much tells me all I need to know about Hollywood "Patriots".
HCUAA, not HUAC.
It took Pete Seeger 40+ years to admit that Stalin was a murderer.
Pete and Woody protested going to war against Nazi Germany until Hitler betrayed their beloved Joseph Stalin. “This machine kills fascists” when a murderous Commie says its okay to, but NOT before.
