Joe found a buttload of "witches".. and burned a few before the "witches" burned him..
Its all in Ann Coulters book, "TREASON"..
Washington D.C. is NOW a coven not a government center at all..
Thanks. There's more on Stewart in his FBI file, which identifies him as "one of the principal leaders of the Communist element in the motion picture industry" from 1936 on. About that time he became chairman of the League of American Writers, the American affiliate of the International Union of Revolutionary Writers, a Comintern front.

Something similar happened to Jeff Corey. He and his wife were invited to a political meeting by a friend, were disgusted by the rhetoric they heard, and left after just a few minutes. Years later, someone remembered seeing him there, and he was instantly blacklisted.
"... that henceforth no studio would knowingly employ any member of the Communist Party, or the members of any other group which advocated the overthrow of the United States government by revolution."
I say if Hollywood does not want to hire those who advocate the overthrow of the United States government by revolution, then they should have that right. Don't you agree?
Now, what are you talking about? Holding an unpopular idea? Crimes?
Maybe you're thinking of the Spanish Inquisition, not HUAC?
Joe was not perfect, but he sure was right about the commies and the left. If anything, he just underestimated their penetration and their ruthlessness.
Jow was doing the right thing, but he went about it in the wrong way........the lefty media hastened his destruction.
While they may not be celebrating the Soviet Union these days, the anti-American leftists certainly associate themselves with the idea that they are more well informed and forward thinking.
If he wasn't guilty and had cooperated he wouldn't have been blacklisted. If I was called before Congress, I think I would open my mouth and cooperate.

I suggest that you read "RADICAL HOLLYWOOD" ,by Paul Buhle and Dave Wagner (who are LIBERALS and not right wingers, BTW),to start with and educate yourself. Just because you don't know anything at all about the CRIMES which were committed by American Commies, who worked in Hollywood, doesn't mean that none were committed.
Holy mackrel! Guilty of what? What was he charged with? He was brought up because someone (Robert Taylor) said, "I don't know if he's a commie or not, I just don't like what he says." That's enough? Not for me.
No doubt there were some miscarriages of justice. There always are. On the other hand, the Communists murdered maybe a hundred million people over the course of the twentieth century, not counting their responsibility for numerous wars. Being a Communist was not a harmless hobby.
One's right to work in a particular job or industry sometimes depends on not abusing your position. Thus, I don't think Dan Rather had any right to work in the news business after publicly promoting and defending a forgery for partisan political purposes.
No one could expect to work in Hollywood during the early 1940s if they tried to use movies to support Hitler, and much the same applied in the 1950s to those who supported Stalin.
That's my point. Apparently he wasn't guilty of anything so why not talk? Especially if he's been unfairly maligned.
You're not "charged" with anything when you go before a congressional committee. They just want info. Best to give it to them.
