"Do we need to remind them how ugly that chapter was? They, who were once blacklisted, now turn around and blacklist one of their own? Shameful. Really really shameful."
I'll agree that that period (McCarthy era) was ugly and shameful, but more for what was done -to- McCarthy than anything he did.

Senator McCarthy had nothing to do with the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities,which did investigate the movie industry.It was the movie bigwigs who did the blacklisting.The California House also investigated communists in the movie industry.There were many .
Senator Mc Carthy's committee investigated Communists in government...We also had useful idiots,as we do today.
