Ann Coulter Answers Conservative Critics Live on Larry Elder Now

KABC Los Angeles

[Cinnamon Girl]

Apparently, some people have taken issue with what Coulter has written about McCarthy and the "blacklisting" in Hollywood. Ann is on Larry Elder's show now with a conservative director explaining her work in "Treason."

[Cinnamon Girl]

I'm about halfway into "Treason" and am admittedly confused about the whole blacklisting thing. Some of my college teachers were blacklisted in Hollywood and one of them was particularly hopping mad about it his whole life. I always thought Elia Kazan was wrong and now I'm getting the other side of the story...

Thanks, hole_n_one. Are you listening? I forgot the director's name, but he's taking Ann to task for her black and white take on McCarthy. But now she's responding strongly. Still, I'm wondering if her portrayal of blacklisted hollywood people as "having to fire the maid" is an accurate way to explain how they experienced "blacklisting."

I'm afraid not.......

My pc audio is messed up and for some reason, any and all AM reception in my apt. has always been virtually unintelligible, except for after 6:00 pm, when it's clear as a bell.

How weird is that?

Perfect! "People should read my book before criticizing".

Horowitz had several inaccuracies in his column that indicated to me he had not read the book.

The blacklist was no different than what is done today by both left and right. "Red Channels" published a list of names in 1950 of celebrities who were either CPUSA members or supported Soviet fronts. Americans were being killed by communists in Korea. People were fired because producers knew keeping them on would enrage the public.

Dorothy Rabinowitz, in her attack on Coulter, cited Phillip Loeb as a victim of the blacklist who was not "resourceful enough to fight back.

Loeb was paid $85,000(over half a million in current dollars) when he was terminated in 1951. A few years later he killed himself because he could not pay a New York State tax bill of $1,000.

Some victim. He could have continued to work had he wished. All he had to do was renounce his support of Stalin (Loeb had defended the Moscow show trials) and tell congress what he knew about the Communist Party USA.

He choose not to. The producer of his TV show, Berg, tried to explain to him she had 20 other people who depended on her show for their livelihood. Loeb didn't care. He love of communism trumped all.

You gotta love Ann's rapid fire responses, usually delivered with rapier wit. I especially love when she makes a point with humorous exaggeration.

Two women having lesbian sex = Katie Curok interviewing Hillary.
Half a brain knows that was Ann's way of saying Katie was sucking up to Hillary.

Hardships blacklisted Hollywooders faced = They had to fire their maids.
Half a brain knows the Hollywood crowd still had their kids in private schools, and still worked, brought home the bacon, using aliases. Even more important, many of them really were socialists....and guess what? They still are today!

When Al Franken uses this comic device, he's applauded.
When Jesse Jackson adds poetic twists to insults, he's celebrated.

Liberals aren't used to catchy responses, much less delivered with punch and pizazz, by a brilliant, highly educated, sexy blonde babe. Hellsbells, they aren't used to responses at all.

"I ain't sorry for what I done!" - Marlon Brando, "On the Waterfront". Speaking for Elia Kazan. Terrific movie.

Some of my college teachers were blacklisted in Hollywood and one of them was particularly hopping mad about it his whole life.

How long ago were you in college? Would these teachers have been old enough to have been adults during the late 40's/early 50's timeframe?

I'd be highly suspicious of such claims. They're too easy to make and they're difficult to refute.

[Cinnamon Girl]

I was in college in the early 90's. These guys were old. And famous. Everyone knows they were blacklisted.

[YaYa123]

But lest we forget, Ann Coulter wasn't the first, or the only beautiful Conservative woman who threw Democrats into mind boggling tailspins of despair.
Barbara Olson, though much kinder and gentler, was as feared and hated by the left as Ann. I miss her still.

[eddie willers]

I miss her still.

Me too.
Loved "Hell To Pay".

[DPB101]

OK, but just out of curiosity, who were they?
