There was no "Red Scare" in Hollywood ~ there really were commies in Hollywood.

So far as I know no one has yet come up with evidence that the people identified as commies weren't commies.

~ there really were commies in Hollywood.

Present tense verb also works.

“There was no “Red Scare” in Hollywood ~ there really were commies in Hollywood.”

Good point! We as a NATION owe an apology to “Tailgunner Joe” McCarthy!

Am reading M. Stanton Evans excellent book--Blacklisted by History--about how the liberal "establishment", especially the press, totally demonized Sen. Joe McCarthy, despite the fact that most of the people he suspected of being "Reds"--were just that. It is fascinating--and very disturbing--to see our nation's foreign and domestic policies have been so strongly influenced by people in "high places"--including the White House-- who had strong ties to the Kremlin.

Wish this book were mandatory reading for every college class studying American History.

Not just Hollywood. The entire Roosevelt administration was RIDDLED with them. Read Mitrohkin’s The Sword and the Shield. Henry Wallace, FDR’s VP until 1945 was a commie spy. He almost became president—if he hadn’t been replaced on the ticket by Truman, Alger Hiss, the darling of the left, even to this day WAS A COMMUNIST SPY. That is verified by KGB documents.
