"Fifty years of liberal propaganda people to thinking of Communist Party member as lovable idealists and the urge to fire them from their government jobs as an irrational anachronistic prejudice. Allowing card-carrying members of the Communist Party to handle classified material after the Alger Hiss case would be like encouraging al-Qaeda members to carry box cutters on airplanes after 9-11."

The communists were not 'lovable idealists' or a benign political party. They were and are psychopatic homicidal maniacs who actually planned a revolution to make America into Bolshevik Russia.
And Dalton Trumbo wanted to be part of that revolution.
His sort, American supporters of communism, agreed with the plan to turn America into the abattoir that was Russia under their communists.
a. Roosevelt's New Deal was riddled with communists....paid agents of Stalin. At a dinner party, a number administration officials spilled the beans, spoke openly about the
plans to cause a revolution so they can rebuild America in the Soviet's image. "Wirt claimed he had "discovered" evidence of a plot within FDR's administration to launch
a Bolshevik takeover of the United States..... garnering all kind of media attention, and even testifying before Congress about his evidence of a "concrete plan"
for the overthrow of the U.S. government crafted by members of FDR's "Brain Trusters."
"Roosevelt is only the Kerensky of this revolution," he quoted them. (Kerensky was the provisional leader of Russia just before the 1917 Bolshevik revolution.) The hoodwinked president would be permitted to stay in office, they said,
"until we are ready to supplant him with a Stalin." The Washington Monthly
10. BTW....in "The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America," Haynes, Klehr, and Vassiliev
confirm that KGB records reveal the dinner party official named by Wirt were spies. (p. 220, 528.)
a. Six years after
the Democrats on the select committee branded Wirt a liar, one of the members, Democrat John J. O'Connor (Democrat, NY) "confessed in a statement today that he had helped prevent a thorough investigation in 1934 of charges by the late Dr. William A. Wirt that
a group of New Dealers were plotting a new American revolution....expressed belief that most of the latter's charges had come true.....
there was a deliberately conceived plot among New Dealers to overthrow the established social order in this country and substitute a planned economy."
"O'Connor Admits Helping to Discredit Dr. Wirt," The Utica Observer-Dispatch, April 10, 1940.
So, when the simpleton at the Hollywood Reporter writes this "......he's [Trumbo is] emblematic of
oppressed people throughout our history, whether it's African-Americans or Latinos or communists."
One need ask which African-Americans or Latinos want to turn the United States over to Soviet communists, or turn America into a gulag?
Which ones?
Remember this when the new Dalton Trumbo propaganda film opens in November.
