Every time someone criticizes the opinion of some Hollywood airhead, they cry "McCarthyism". The Hollywood set can say whatever they like but as soon as someone points out that their anti-Americanism has real consequences, they silence their critics by screaming "McCarthyism". God forbid we have an open discussion on how Hollywood's misrepresentation of American acts and motives have promoted anti-americanism abroad. And shouldn't we talk honestly about how that anti-americanism motivates terrorists and weakens our alliances? Try any of this, and you will be silenced with the cry of "McCarthyism". Hollywood is smart. They have a fawning press, they have the attention of the masses, they have the biggest blowhorn. But the moment a few patriotic individuals question the responsibility of making statements that portray America as a nation worthy of being attacked, they use the symbolism of Joe McCarthy to silence them.

Only in America....beautiful, gorgeous, billionaires, living in society's rarefied upper crust by virtue of their earnings, actually believe that no one else is qualified to pontificate on these matters. If anyone dares do so, they are immediately shouted down and labelled McCarthyites.
