Learn the truth about Joseph McCarthy, a vile man.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

reply

If you do indeed learn the truth about Joe McCarthy you'll see that, unlike Trumbo, he was not a vile man at all but a very honorable one. He was vindicated by the Venona Cables when they were released to the public in 1995. Many of those he investigated were indeed communists and even communist spies.

reply

Most of those he investigated were not spies at all but communist in theory or as a philosophy. I don't believe there's any way to white wash his hysterical the sky is falling tactics or the many lives he ruined. He also went after such "unamerican" things as homosexuality.
He was an ignorant man with too much power.

reply

McCarthy attacked people for being homosexual, while his chief counsel and right hand man was Roy Cohn, a self-hating closeted gay man who later died of AIDS.

I'd rather a man who wanted to support his country and the freedoms it guaranteed rather than a man who supported one of the most destructive and murderous political systems in all of history. And not only did he support it, he and his friends tried to bring it here in the form of unions that fomented violence.

reply

Respectfully, I'd say you missed the point. The guaranteed freedoms are for ALL, popular or not. Actions can make you a convict, thoughts cannot (or should not).

Just had to see that again.

"I'd rather a man who wanted to support his country and the freedoms it guaranteed".

McCarthy was a swine hell-bent on shutting down these freedoms and turning his country into another Soviet Union. Give him the full power and you'd be counting corpses till this merry day.

Does anyone else see irony in millionaire Hollywood liberals glamorizing Communists? Would these Hollywood types be as wealthy and influential if the Cold War had gone the other way?

Yes. The people who made the movie and included a scene where one relatively poor guy tells the main character he doesn't trust him because he claims radical politics but lives in a nice house on a big plot of land with his own private lake.

reply

Why do people always think communism has to be pro-sowjet?
Communism is an idea.
And, by the way, the USSR wasn't even that communistic.

Why in the USA still there are dumb people like you?
Communism is a theory and an utopia, never communism was really set up in any place in the world.
And this movie is not about communism, is about dumb and narrow minded people that see enemies everywhere, today is communist, tomorrow colored, the day after tomorrow gay, and so on.
This movie tells to open your mind because this guy (Trumbo) was a genius and you cant fight a genius.
