US communists
called for unity against McCarthy-style witch-hunts at the weekend.
Their appeal came in the wake of a series of raids on the homes of 12
peace activists during which computers and photographs were
seized.
The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) said the September 24 raids had nothing
to do with protecting the US people against terrorism and "everything
to do with chilling the long-cherished tradition of the right to
dissent."

Too bad they don't
identify the organization these "peace activists" belong to, because I
will assure you they are dealt with in depth here.

Drawing a
parallel with the McCarthy period when CPUSA leaders and members were
jailed or fired from their jobs and blacklisted, it said the hysteria
and persecution "severely curtailed democracy and free speech, stained
our constitution and distorted political discourse for a generation."

"McCarthy era" is a rather
nebulous tag. What does it mean? Offhand, I can't think of
anyone who was jailed as a result of the McCarthy senate
hearings. Communists identified by the earlier HUAC
(House UnAmerican Activities Committee) who were harassed or lost their jobs, like Sean
Penn's father Leo, were fired
by studios they worked for, under the correct assumption that
American moviegoers would not take kindly to seeing their names on film
credits. The iconic "Hollywood
Ten" were card-carrying communists who took instructions directly
from Uncle Joe Stalin. As unregistered agents for a hostile
foreign government, they're lucky they didn't share the green
room with Julius ans Ethyl.
All this is moot of course. Now that Eric Holder has been alerted
to the activities of these rogue FBI agents, it is they whose jobs are in
peril.

I hope they're scared. Considering their kind have murdered millions, they should all be sent to a deserted island and kept there by force.
ReplyDeleteDo you think our home-grown commies go deer or turkey huntin'? I doubt it. That means our side still owns all the huntin' rifles and shotguns.
ReplyDeleteThe "Hollywood Ten" refused to name other foreign agents. Their "freedom of speech" consisted of, you know, NOT speaking plus contempt of Congress.
ReplyDeleteI think only journalists can do that, now.
The real "McCarthyism" practitioners were those leftists/liberals who were rabidly anti-anticommunist. Anticommunists have been slandered/smeared by that label for half a century. Still are.
Ann Coulter has written about Joe McCarthy I believe. He was right on most of the commies he exposed and the media and other commies came to their aid and made Joe a bad name. McCarthyism is now the term for all that is evil and conservative. Commies should fear us - we should be sworn to their disclosure and eradication by ANY MEANS NECESSARY.
ReplyDeleteIf that is peaceable, then so be it and if not.....well you know what that means. We must be very careful when discussing this either online or where any of the offending said commies can hear or read it. Any threat made upon them would weigh heavily in any trial or investigations. Jus sayin.......

That might have been Laura Ingraham....not sure. They are both babes and I am in love with them both.
