[taraytarah]

~ there really were commies in Hollywood.

Present tense verb also works.

[muawiyah]

Yeah, I know, they still got commies in Hollywood but they're not like the old ones ~ these people have compounded their stupidity and hatred of humanity with heavy drug use.

Not a good combination anywhere.

[Bernard Marx]

Present tense verb also works.

There are far more Hollywood Commies now than in the 1940s. And they don't keep it secret. Maybe the Times should do some investigative journalism -- but they'd have to investigate their own staff first! They finally got rid of Bob Scheer and his wife too, I think, but how many more are there?
