I read a good book by William F. Buckley titled "Red Hunter" about the McCarthy era. Although a novel, Buckley said the historical parts were accurate.

I think as the Soviet Union has allowed some of it's formerly secret files to be made public, it is clear that McCarthy was basically right.

I suspect the new movie will simply be Commies patting themselves on the back.

"I think as the Soviet Union has allowed some of it's formerly secret files to
be made public, it is clear that McCarthy was basically right."


It REALLY pains me to recommend anything done by PBS, but they hit a home run
with "Secrets, Lies and Atomic Spies".
To hear a PBS production at least concede that McCarthy was correct in saying there
was a massive infiltration of the USA by Soviet agents just about gave me
a freakin' heart attack.
Of course, the producers contended that most of the "names" that
McCarthy named were falsely accussed of being Communists.
(but the writers of the show convienently failed to identify ONE of these people
that McCarthy suppossedly defamed)
