As the saying goes, one can always tell what the left is doing by what they claim the other side is doing.
Dalton Trumbo, case in point.....free speech aficionado???
11. Dalton Trumbo.... a principled patriot standing up for free speech!
Not.
His raison d'être was to deprive the other side of their free speech. And he did.
a. DalonTrumbo, like any good communist,began a blacklisting of the other side before he became subject of an anti-communist blacklisting. The scholar Kenneth Billingsley found that Trumbo wrote inThe Daily Workerabout films which he said communist influence in Hollywood had prevented from being made:among them were proposed adaptations ofArthur Koestler's anti-totalitarianworksDarkness at NoonandThe Yogi and the Commissar,which described the rise of communism in Russia.

b. Communists in high positions in Hollywood were able to see to it that ant-Communist works never made it to the screen. Writing in "The Worker," Dalton Trumbo bragged about de facto anti-Communist blacklisting.
"We have produced a few fine films in Hollywood, a great many of which were vulgar and opportunistic and a few downright vicious. If you tell me Hollywood, in contrast with the novel and the theater, has produced nothing so provocative or so progressive asFreedom RoadorDeep Are the Roots, I will grant you the point, but I may also add that neither has Hollywood produced anything so untrue or so reactionary asThe Yogi and the Commissar,Out of the Night,Report on the Russians,There Shall Be No Night, orAdventures of a Young Man. Nor does Hollywood's forthcoming schedule include such tempting items as James T. FarrellBernard Clare, Victor A. KravchenkoI Chose Freedom, or the so-called biography of Stalin by Leon Trotsky." FrontPage Magazine - Orwell vs. Communism
b. In reality, Dalton Trumbo supported "Communist and fascist aggression across the globe and conspiring to make the United States a totalitarian Red regime. Trumbo, in truth, was a full-fledged Stalinist whose supposed love of freedom led him to side with three of the most barbarous dictators in the 20th century: Joseph Stalin, Adolph Hitler and North Korea’s Kim Il-sung.
He was a full-blooded Red, party card and all, who worked hard to graft a Soviet-style system, with all its lovely qualities, upon his country of birth. And he would have used force and violence—or so his utterances would suggest—if he had been summoned to do so by his boss in Moscow. " http://media.glennbeck.com/blaze/mag/august2015theblazemag.pdf
Yet....a hero to Hollywood, and to the Left.
They hate America.
