Our enemies were not executed or carted off to concentration camps. All that happened to them is they were forbidden from working in Hollywood for a few short years.

Theirs was a unjustly deserved rehabilitation. America is a far more decent country than the people who hated it to its core would ever be and only in America is being a persecuted Communist considered to be a badge of honor.

Let’s keep it in mind before we turn Trumbo and his Soviet fellow travelers into saints.

They weren't even forbidden from working in Hollywood. They were forbidden by the studios for being recognized in Hollywood.

The boycott established by Red Channels and other independent publications was circumvented by friendly allies in the studio system who permitted the blacklisted names to work under pseudonyms, lest the public get wise to the scam.

There exists a blacklist in Hollywood today (and elsewhere in the corporate world) against conservatives and the hysterics we hear from the Left about the TEA Party show their claims of a Communist witchhunt to be partisan at best and deception at worst.
