The Hollywood admirers of the communists were just as bad as Lord Haw-Haw and the other traitors who supported the Nazis in World War 2. They never gave a damn about the ten million Ukrainians Stalin starved to death, the twenty million killed by the KGB under Lenin's and Trotsky's blueprint or the upwards of 100 million murdered by Mao. Nor did they give a damn about this country where they were sheltered, protected and often became wealthy. I'm glad the people Friedman names lost their jobs; thats the least that they could suffer. And I'm very glad a man of the courage and decency of Elia Kazan emigrated to the USA.

Agreed. And Hellman suffering doesn't strike me as being equivalent to Solzhenitsyn suffering.
