In Defense of Hollywood's Blacklist

Dear Editor:
Regarding the Michael Epstein documentary: "Arthur Miller, Elia Kazan and the Blacklist: None Without Sin," (PBS, 9/3/03): the real "sin" was clearly that of the blacklisted writers and actors. This documentary is yet another attempt by the American left to keep alive the big lie that the blacklisted were innocent victims and unjustly persecuted. They were neither.
American citizens have the right to hold and express unpopular views, including communist views. However, such freedom does not include the right to forcibly overthrow the United States government. The American Communist Party was a secret organization not a political party. And as the KGB archives prove, it was financed and directed by the Soviet Union, which made it an extension of Soviet foreign policy, and thus a proper subject for congressional inquiry. Those who refused to "name names" had plenty to hide.

50 Years? The Communist Manifest was written in 1848, yet it took most of its deadly toll decades into the NEXT century which wasn't to be born until 52 years in the future. 50 years is nothing. The KGB aggressively worked to destroy our society for nearly a century. They infiltrated our educational, political, media and many other systems; all in an attempt to spread Marxism and bring down the Western concept of liberty (it wasn't called the Democracy Bell.) No folks, the cold war isn't yet over and much of our modern political ideology has been poisoned by the Marxist KGB. Ever hear the term "politically correct"? Wake up everyone.
