I always found it interesting that Joe McCarthy's counsel, prior to Roy Cohn, was Teddy's big brother, Bobby Kennedy. Bobby was determined to make a name for himself by helping McCarthy root out the communists but Cohn apparently convinced McCarthy that it would "look better" for his counsel to be a Jew. So Bobby was reluctantly forced out.

History can be full of surprises for those who care about it.
The ignorant, present-day Hollywood scumbags simply have no clue.

Or they are the nephew or niece, son or daughter of communists and have an interest in protecting the myth that the Hollywood Ten were victims--loyal Americans standing up for the Bill of Rights.
