At least the LA Times acknowledges that he was a communist. That is a huge step forward for liberals.
The issue of the day back then was the “horrible” question asked by HUAC: “Are you now, or were you ever, a member of the communist party?” Legitimate responses were “Yes,” “No,” and to plead the fifth amendment. Simple perjury was hardly an option as the FBI had infiltrated the communist party and knew the answer before the question was asked. Liberals have made heroes of those who refused to answer the question.
about 20yrs ago, some of the original black listed people were on a talk radio show....and they described how horribly they were treated....but they did actually admit that they were communists and wanted to destroy our country and our democracy....
