COULTER ROARING INTO BEST SELLER LIST

Her new book supporting Joe McCarthy is long overdue. The Left has dominated this debate for fifty years. However, before reading it understand that Nixon busted all the real Communists in the country. He got Elizabeth Bently to rat out Wittaker Chambers and then got Chambers to "turn". They got Alger Hiss the absolute darling of the Left. Once Hiss fell, Harry Dexter White, the Pearle ring, the Rosenbergs (see my post below on Ethel), Fuchs, and all the rest of the big commies followed. As far as Hollywood goes, the '47 Hollywood Ten were hard core Communists taking orders from Moscow:

"To counter what they claimed were reckless attacks by HUAC, a group of Hollywood liberals led by actor Humphrey Bogart, his wife Lauren Bacall, John Huston, William Wyler, Gene Kelly and others, established the ?“Committee for the First Amendment?” (CFA). The CFA traveled to Washington to lend its support as the eleven unfriendly witness?’ began their testimony. However, as the eleven began to respond to their inquisitors with as much disdain, and often with histrionics far more brusque than their accusers, the embarrassed First Amendmenters began to unravel. Director Edward Dmytryk one of the Ten, said later, ?“I was so happy with the support of the CFA and others, but when (screenwriter) John Howard Lawson began haranguing the committee members, I died. We lost it right then and there!" Humphrey Bogart wrote a piece for the March 1948 issue of Photoplay magazine entitled ?“I?’m No Communist?”, in which he admitted being ?“duped?”. His trip to Washington, he said, had been ?“ill-advised?”. John Garfield wrote a similar article called "I?’m a Sucker for a Left Hook. Edward G. Robinson lamented ?“the Reds made a sucker out of me?”.

"I have always believed that if the hearings had stopped after this initial round, the majority of historians and academicians might have taken a more objective view of them. After all, the Hollywood Ten who were all held in contempt of congress, later admitted to being or having been members of the Communist Party.

"In his autobiography ?“Inside Out: A Memoir of the Blacklist?”, Walter Bernstein, contributing writer for The New Yorker, and former screenwriter, claimed that while he was working at Columbia Pictures, he and Director Robert Rossen, would set out deliberately to include some leftist point of view in a particular scene. They left it up to studio head Harry Cohn?¹ to delete the unwanted scenes. Rossen, an overt Communist, was perturbed at his exclusion as one of the original Hollywood Ten! He never got over ?“being snubbed in such an unsavory manner!?” Here, for the first time, one of the key players of the Hollywood left admitted purposefully and deliberately to including pro-Communist messages in movie scripts.

So I'm waiting to see this McCarthy apologia because I'm of the opinion he did zilch, other than to nail Owen Latimore, who wasn't exactly the hairiest gorilla in the forest.

One day Nixon will get the credit he deserves. He was the target of the Left for the rest of his life for nailing Alger Hiss, the highest placed Russian spy in history. He nailed THE guy who was right next to the President. The Left hated Nixon forever. It was Nixon who saved this country from any Communist threat at that time, not McCarthy.
