MSNBCs Karen Finney on Monday hung up on
conservative talker Hugh Hewitt after he repeatedly asked
her during an interview on his radio show to say whether
Alger Hiss was a communist.
*snip*
I think if we go back to the McCarthy hearings, its pretty
clear that he created a culture of paranoia and fear that
people later recognized, they sort of bought into it and then
recognized that it was absolutely misplaced, Finney told
Hewitt. Thats the point.
But Karen, did any communists infiltrate our government? Hewitt asked. Finney asked Hewitt to go ahead and name them, and Hewitt replied, Can you? Im trying to figure out if you know if any of them did.
*snip*
Im not doing this game with you, Finney said at one point. It could be over,
Hewitt replied, adding later, This is astonishing. You cant bring yourself to say that Alger Hiss was a communist spy. After he posed the question again, Finney hung up on Hewitt, who laughed when he realized she was no longer on the line. She cant deal with that question. I am flabbergasted, I am astonished, he said.
