I have a copy of The Soviet World of American Communism by Klehr, Haynes, and Anderson. It is chilling, and utterly destroys the "witch hunter" label appended to McCarthyites.

Worth repeating.

"I have a copy of The Soviet World of American Communism by Klehr, Haynes, and Anderson. It is chilling, and utterly destroys the "witch hunter" label appended to McCarthyites. "

McCarthy's mistake was he UNDERESTIMATED the number of communists in the government, media and Hollywood. Anti-Communists have never fared well in the press from Nixon to Reagan.

The McCarthy lesson still echos today. Those the media honchos demonize are telling the truth about some ox they don't want gored. Current examples include Starr and Buchanan.

That whole series is an eye opener, Commie infiltration of the CIO, Lies about the composition and control of the International Brigades, the various front groups and their liberal fellow travellers in the NYC litterary elite and news media.

Do a few substitutions and it is the Bill and Hill show.
