[laconic]

The same critics who toss around the words "fascist", "Nazi" and "McCarthyite" with abandon are those who get hysterical in describing the Hollywood blacklisting as "our" darkest chapter. Yet they'll never admit that those blacklisted were dedicated communists who supported history's greatest mass murderers, Stalin and the Bolsheviks, and that most of them worked under assumed names in Hollywood anyway.

The operative word here is "communist," and I believe their very support of those blacklisted is their admission. The communists made no bones about how they would overtake our free society, they would infiltrate our media, government and morality. They did then and still are operating successfully.
