We now know, of course, that McCarthy was mostly right the United States government and many left-leaning organizations in the United States were indeed infiltrated by Communist spies and pro-Communist stooges sponsored and/or supported in one way or another by the Soviet Union. For example, at least one person that Murrow and American liberals defended, Laurence Duggan, was indeed a Communist spy and later worked openly in leftist, Neo-Marxist circles. We also know that a black woman, Annie Lee Moss, working in the Code Room of the Pentagon, whose famous testimony is featured in George Clooney's movie, was indeed a Communist Party member in the mid 1940s. Also, Annie Lee Moss really did receive a Daily Worker at her actual address in Washington, D.C., despite her demure, intentionally humorous protestations. We also know that George Clooney and his ilk are communists who hate America and think nothing of making a movie which distorts history.

But Clooney is high on something (coke or communism; it's hard to tell, both make people extremely irrational).

This movie will be fun. I hope it's discussed a lot. Would be great to get a good McCarthy debate out there in the public domain.
I haven't read much Ann Coulter, and I probably won't in the future unless she gets off her "Impeach Bush" kick, but I did learn a lot about McCarthy from her book "Treason".
I do have questions, though about McCarthy's taking on the military and Eisenhower shutting him down.

Apparently some leftist loons have complained that the
McCarthy scenes are too sympathetic to the Senator ...
... not realizing that the movie used actual footage
of the real hearings for those scenes.

I think Clooney is just dumb. I don't think he can even define a communist. He is just a flake like Streisand or Martin Sheen, albeit dumber than even them : )

All anyone has to do to learn about McCarthy is read the Venona Intercepts and the FOIA FBI file on Owen Lattimore.
As to the charge that Clooney's film is revisionist history, who is surprised by that?
Perhaps it can start another dialogue about McCarthy, and we can once again bitchslap Hollywood.

I heard a review of the movie on TV this morning that began, "What's black-and-white and boring all over?" Hopefully, audiences will stay away in droves.

The release of the Venona documents has proven that McCarthy was absolutely correct. And it has proven beyond any doubt that Alger Hiss was a Soviet agent.

Yep. I learned more about the politics of the second half of the twentieth century from "Treason" than any other book. Not that I didn't already know Democrats are a bunch of Commies, it was just startling to see that belief validated by cold hard fact after cold hard fact.
If ANYONE is unclear on their opinion of Tailgunner Joe, they must read it.

I read her book. It was factual. And it made more sense than Looney Clooney.
