The men who fought against the regime the Rosenbergs supported are the ones who should be honored. I wonder if families of those listed below saw the memorial in Ossinging today. A reporter with guts should ask them what they think of Harry Belafonte, Ed Asner, Pete Seeger and Robert Meeropol.
Ossining, New York Goes to War
Korea 1950 - 1953
Honor Roll
Lt. John Kelvin Koelsch died in a North Korean prison camp. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions after his helicopter was downed. We can safely assume his death was not as quick as the Rosenberg's.

My only regret is that the death of the Rosenburgs was done by old Sparky. I really think it would have been more appropriate to have locked them in a room with someone with a pair of jumper cables and a needle nose plyers. Let the punishment befit the crime.
To: wideminded
Greenglass cooperated with the prosecutors and investigators. The death sentences on the Rosenbergs were an attempt to pressure them into cooperating too.

They betrayed our secrets,our country,and their children.I rejoice that we once knew how traitors should be punished.

One of the best comedies ever! But we may be in a minority. I've recommended it to others and they think it is silly.
The "black chicken...catch it! catch it!" scene is ROFLMAO material.

While decoded Soviet messages released in recent years appear to show that Julius Rosenberg was indeed a spy, supporters say nothing he contributed to the Soviets--and certainly nothing his wife did--warranted the electric chair. How do the supporters know what he contributed? Or what his wife didn't do? There was sufficient evidence at the time to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" that they both were guilty. And more evidence has been found since then in the old Soviet archives. Their "supporters" are offereing faith-based, not fact-based arguments. BTW, notice the weasel words of "accused" and "allegedly" in the article--obviously the reporter has a "point of view" on this issue.

Does the article mention why the older son was not at the demonstration? I seem to recall that just one son now appears at these events. I wonder if the other son has become disillusioned with the cause or if something has happened to prevent his participation.

Michael appears to be as stone cold a thug as Robert.
He spoke last fall at the National Lawyers Guild with Lynne Stewart (who is accused of helping Islamic terrorists). Michael, surprise, surprise, is a teacher at some rinky dink New England college. He wrote a book lamenting that Clinton completed the Reagan Revolution. Well...at least these two are not voting for RATS.

I believe because he cooperated.Greenglass refused to sacrifice his children(his words) on the Soviet altar and testified against his sister.

No, the lights did NOT " dim " all over N.Y.C. when the switch was pulled.

You're not alone. "LOVE AT FIRST BITE " is one of the all time BEST comedy films ever made. I love that movie and still laugh loudly; it hasn't grown stale and never disappoints.

Been scanning the wires tonight. This is
the only account of this memorial. It is in Asia, the UK, Canada and in hundreds of outlets in the USA.
This is how the left wins. 50 years ago, the guilt of the Rosenbergs was not in doubt except among the CPUSA crowd. IT was probably the last time the financial elites, the intelligentsia and the average working stiff were in agreement on a political issue of large importance. But the left has been able to gnaw away at that unity. They never give up. And they pass their fanaticism down to their kids. You can bet if the Meeropol brats have kids, they too are communists. Their lives will center around getting revenge the death of Julius and Ethel just as their parents lives have.

To everyone:
Last night NP, DPB101 and myself found out an enormous amount of information about the Rosenbergs.
Here is a brief synopsis of what we learned last night.
The Rosenbergs did not have to die! They CHOSE to. Why? Because their God was communism. Eisenhower did NOT want to have them killed and the FBI had an open phone line with them. They chose not to confess and spare their life. There was a lot of evidence about what they did which WAS harmful to the US at the time.
The bombshell we learned was that Oppenheimer, Szil. and a lot of the other scientists working on the H Bomb were....left leaning and some (like Opp) were definite communists with ties to the CPUSA.
McCarthy wanted to shed light on this and in fact Opp did report to the McC's committee. They only relieved him of his duties as the head scientist and did nothing else further to him. President Truman and President Eisenhower did nothing about it and did not want McC to pursue this issue against Opp.
It's all so complicated but we spent an enjoyable time on the *other* thread last night about it. It went on for hours, possibly a couple of days!
God bless. McCarthy WAS right, and history has proven this.

Post a link to the thread with the info ... your synopsis was good, but so much info is on the other thread. You did one heck of a fantistic job ferretting it all out.

You're absolutely 100% correct about the lefties. They pass their disgusting positions down to each new generation; proagandize their own. They used to be better at it, having Communist summer camps, where they all sent their kids to be further propagandized. I don't think those still exist, though. David Horowitz and many of the " Hippie / Yippie / SDS/ RED DIAPER BABIES/ leaders " went to them. These people's strength is their patience. They don't give up because they lose one minor battle and they view incrimentalism as their friend.
To: I_Love_My_Husband; nopardons
What did you two do to the guy on the other thread who claimed the Rosenberg's rights were violated? I don't see him here. You did something. I know women. There is probably more involved than just you two. There usually is. Tell the truth. What happened to him?
