There is one important fact that many people fail to point out about the blacklist. The group that did the blacklisting was the Hollywood producers, because it was bad for business. The American people despised communism.
The Hollywood Ten also went to jail if I remember correctly, for contempt of court, not for being communists, or taking the fifth.
God bless Kazan. Im sure he arrived in heaven to a standing ovation.

THe "Hollywood blacklist" is a nice myth promoted by the Communists and their sympathizers in the media and the university history departments. It is all about how history is written by the victors: the Communists.
There is a Broadway play about one Dalton Trumbo, an unrepentant Communist during the time millions were being murdered by Stalin. The play was written by the scumbag's son, he is presented as a helpless victim, and nowhere in it is there a mention of Mr Trumbo having bragged of blocking screenplays with any hint of anti-Communism (this according to a recent review of this travesty in the Wall Street Journal.)
