The Rosenbergs actually gave secrets to the Soviet Union. Many of those blacklisted just joined in the 20s and 30s when it was a much more common then it is now and forgot about it later. Politically today most of them would be moderate to liberal Democrats. Heck, Ted Kennedy is probably to the left of all those blacklisted back then!

The Freedom of Information Act on the VERONA Project proves all of these perps were either spies or active and knowing participants in Soviet-sponsored acts and initiatives against the USA. The myth that the Hollywood Ten were just dupes is proved an utter lie by the declassified VERONA documents. This is old news, by the way and readily available on a number of sites for your ease of confirmation.

They were not passively leftist individuals but traitors who were knowingly participating in a scheme to hand the USA to her enemies. They got off easy.
