I just don't understand why he called me a liar after I asked how many Communists McCarthy could find in Hollywood today,..and he replied "None".
I said, so there's no Communists in Hollywood today?,..and he got all smarmy.
Anyway,...anybody who thinks that Communism is rare in America should go to Democratic Underground and see all the posters there who use Karl Marx as their avitar.
It's not like the Communists is America are hiding these days.
We will just have to wait and see. Mccarthy used grandstanding tactits, and tried to use the court of public opinion and fear to make his points. He did not preform an investigation in the true sense. He followed templates used in other totalitarian regimes like Stalin's USSR, and Hitlers Germany. The Mueller investigation is not similar in any way, except for President Trumps behavior towards it. I would hope that the american public will be able to see what the investigation found, so we can judge for ourselve
You're a moron.

I said McCarthy could not find any more today than he did in the early 1950s.
Bowsinger, you are wrong and Bristoe is correct.
Hollywood -- or "show business" -- has been well populated with communists since the 1920s, and has continued through today. Back in the '30s and '40s, it was normal for many people in "the Business" to claim membership in the Communist Party USA. After the HUAA Committe and McCarthy hearings, many just went underground. Same ideology, just not as overt. To this day, the greatest heroes of the Hollywood set are the Hollywood Ten, the ten writers who refused to testify as to their membership in the Communist Party, or against the writers who were also members of the CPUSA.
Were the Hollywood Ten writers communists? Damned right. Dalton Trumbo was a leader of the bunch and was a stone cold communist. He even wrote for and edited the communist newspaper for awhile. So was Ring Lardner, Jr., Howard Fast, John Howard Lawson, and the others. They, and many other actors, writers, directors, etc., known communists were blacklisted by the studios. These people sought the destruction of the U.S. Constitution and our Constitutional Republic and wanted to replace them with a Soviet based government.
Let me make it clear here that I do not believe in any government censorship or blacklisting although my political ideology is 180° opposite those communists or socialists or progressives, or whatever the call themselves at the moment.
The heads of the studios "blacklisted" the Hollywood Ten and others, not the government. After several years, a number of the writers were able again to work in Hollywood, Dalton Trumbo and Carl Foreman being the most noted.
I assure you there are communists in Hollywood today, but what they usually call themselves are "socialists" or "progressives. I have known a number of them. Their ideology is no different than in previous years. I know a successful writer who loves firearms and has stated "My politics are to the left of Fidel Castro's." I've shot with him at the Beverly Hills Gun Club.
The reason I know what I am posting here is my background is "show business." Although I am now retired, I have been a successful screenwriter since pre-WGA strike of 1973. I have been a current member of the Writers Guild of America since pre-WGA strike of 1973 and am today, a current member. I say again, Bristoe is correct.
FWIW.

SOMEBODY please tell TRH that Netanyahu NEVER said "Once we squeeze all we can out of the United States, it can dry up and blow away."
The only difference that I can see is that McCarthy was running a kangaroo court to hound and destroy the reputations of suspected communists and Mueller is doing the same thing to the president. McCarthy was eventually censured and disgraced. When will it happen to Mueller?
The truth of Gunner Joe McCarthy is he was telling the truth. Mueller is running a star chamber operation, very similar to what Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro ran. Mueller knew when he started this "investigation" was nothing more then smoke and mirrors. The FBI needs to be disbanded and the Dept Of Justice should be decimated.

There isn't a commie term called "Muellerism", so go figure who is or isn't behind the narrative, its only been a hundred years into this [bleep]...
People who haven't been coined with a personal "ism" in their direction, either believes in communism, socialism or is a [bleep] clueless idiot on how this [bleep] has been laid out like stolen jewels over the years.
The ONLY reason he was wrong was he underestimated the number of communists in both government and media....
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

My opinion on the significant differences. McCarthy was trying to stop communism, while Mueller appears to be trying to end the Republic. Though both, used tactics that were not Constitutional! memtb

McCarthy, whom history has vindicated, was fighting against a real threat.
Mueller is running a hoax under the color of law.
Like McCarthy, I hope Mueller is vindicated also. This will be damned interesting when it's over. I still think Rosenstein is our guy and won't be shocked if Mueller is also.
The FBI’s attempts to re-engage Steele, who had been fired by the FBI six months earlier for breaking protocol by talking to reporters, were soon thwarted by the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller.
McCabe appears to have been blindsided by the appointment of Mueller, who was appointed as special counsel on May 17, 2017, the day after a meeting with Trump and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in the oval office.
I'm here to increase my social credit score and rub elbows with some of the highest rollers on the internet.

With your background you should know the history of what happened to some of the Hollywood writers and actors that were blacklisted or threatened to be blacklisted. That Humphrey Bogart had to write and defend himself: “I’m No Communist” to keep from being blacklisted. “Sterling Hayden: I was a rat, a stoolie, and the names I named of those close friends were blacklisted and deprived of their livelihood.

The Bolshi controlled media lied to you and the public decades ago and you're too lazy to discover the truth.
Who gives a rat's ass what happened to the the Russian Jews and their collaborators?
“Sterling Hayden: I was a rat, a stoolie, and the names I named of those close friends were blacklisted and deprived of their livelihood.
I repeat ONE-MORE-TIME for those with reading comprehension problems...media My Ass...I watched McCarthy live on TV...his own hearings showed what a POS he really was.
