(Eye roll.)
Sunkenciv's reviews are much better, I've been told.
I would hope so

I have a lot of saved testimony from the Senate committee but no links...I lived through this period..McCarthy was a flawed individual,true. but there were communists in the government.
The House investigated Hollywood..Hollywood blacklisted..not the government.
Communism including Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot is a true killing machine..and communists are still influencing the antiwar and other protest groups in the US..Code Pink for one..ANSWER another.

Great rebuttal! I'm a fan!
Do you know whether this George cLooney make-work project makes any reference to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg? Or is that another thread? ;o)
(Pssst -- I think they were guilty, too.)
Everyone's got one, don't they.
You needn't act like one.
"DING DING DING! What do we have for her, Johnny?"
You hit the nail right on the head, mostly. His term began in 1948 or something like that, but his activities did not begin until later. There was no overlap in his activities and HUAAC's activities...
It was a doozy. I am tempted to clip it and force feed it to the next stupid troll that thinks this is a left-right debating society...
How did it look to have a United States Senator attempt to send an erudite 29-year-old to fight his battles for him?
Another interesting fictional treatment I recall is a short story called (IIRC) "Qui Bono?" (Latin for "Who Benefits?"). A character raises the title question ("who benefits when a buffoon discredits anti-communist efforts in the US?"), comes up with the obvious answer, and reconstructs the record of McCarthy's life in an interesting way.
Excellent, King. May I borrow your paragraph 5 for future dealings with my liberal, wine snob brother-in-law?
Yet while the cover-up by that obscene body of cat-house Clinton's crappola, the President and his father continue to play a role in rehabing one of our worst impeached Presidents in our nation's history!
THAT is what upsets me even more than what you are objecting to because the father and son absolutely know better!!!
Oh, brilliant! I am convulsed wtih mirth! Reminds me of our long-ago family dinner conversations....I miss the good old days.
of course
yeah, suppertime chat was fun, so long as Doc didn't bring up work... potatos... *shudder*
though attribution is always most appreciated ;)
IIRC, Venona documents and declassified KGB files make it quite clear that the Rosenbergs were Communist tools.
so I have learned... took all of, oh... 15 minutes at a web-capable computer. gee... I wonder why Hollywierdos can't manage the same trick, considering the money they get paid
oh, I'm aware that A.N.S.W.E.R. is really "C.A.A.N.C.E.R."
Communist
Anti-American
Nimrods,
Criminals,
Egotists, and
Retards
An apologia for Dan Rather.
Just one example of putting 'venona' in search ..keyword

Virtually all of the spies had been members of or were closely associated with the Communist Party. Many, including Rosenberg, were able to continue spying for years after they first came to the FBI’s attention as security threats. Spies who were fired from government jobs as security threats easily found work in the private sector that afforded access to even more valuable information. No one connected the dots. Russia’s spies thrived in the U.S. during World War II largely because the FBI and Army failed to grasp the nature of the threat. Hoover and his subordinates thought of domestic communists primarily as sources of subversion, not as espionage agents.
Perhaps the longest-lasting impact of the release of the Venona documents has been to transform the debate over Communist espionage in the 1940s into one that is all too relevant today. The pertinent question is no longer whether Americans spied, but rather how highly educated, intelligent men and women failed to comprehend the true nature of Stalinist communism, and why they were willing to risk their lives and imperil the security of their families, neighbors and friends to commit crimes on behalf of a foreign power opposed to the basic tenets of modern society. Answers to similar questions, regarding educated Muslims with experience of life in Europe and the U.S. like those who led the 9-11 and Madrid attacks, are essential to constructing a defense against 21st century terrorism.
