The biggest error that I noticed in the article is that Rabinowitz is confusing the House on UnAmerican Activities Committee with the Senate McCarthy hearings. They are not the same thing. McCarthy went after government officials and employees, not actors and other average citizens. Ann explained all that in her book.Read it again. She did no such thing.

I am not sure which she you are referring to, so I shall address both.
Ms. Rabinowitz mentions a Hollywood actor that committed suicide as a victim of McCarthy.
Ann Coulter mentions at the bottom of page 56 and the top of page 57 that the Hollywood blacklists were a product of the HUAC, as in HOUSE, not Senate where McCarthy worked. They were two very different investigations. The HUAC stemmed from a law that was passed in the thirties and stretched over a much longer period of time.
