One deal about Ed Murrow. History and the declassified documents of the Justice Dept,State Dept, and CIA have all shown that Joe McCarthy was correct in his accusations of Communist infiltration of Hollywood and The State Dept.

Murrow now, along with his leftest entourage look like fools.
His status as a icon of the press is,as with so many in the press and entertainment self indulgent crap.

The press could go back and examine the documents, give it the above the fold treatment but they've never had that kind of moxie. Most believe they're above the law and doing God's work when in reality it's a carnival of buncombe. Hell they still idealize the work of John "Jack" Silas Reed , and Walter J. Duranty..both American journalists and Communist dupes. Lenin's "Useful Idiots"

..I heard all that leftest crap a thousand times over from writers far more articulate than you. Somewhere along the line you got fucked up and obviously haven't been able to recover.
As for WAR BONGS ..never bought one..tried a few War BONDS though.

You are the living embodiment of Lenin's "Useful Idiot" still attempting to hold on to a history that new research has proven wrong.
You also show an appauling lack of understanding ot Lenin's "Useful Idiots'. Either that or you are in deep denial about history.

You also have a very obtuse take on what"good" Walter J. Duranty did. If you consider not reporting the deaths of 30 million people a good thing then I imagine you subscribe to Stalin's dictum that "one death is a tragedy, 30 million just a statistic"
Have a nice day ..but sorry..no trip to Hollywood..you're way too far off key and the clown suit and purple hair..well you know..

His prime was during the war.

No argument there,but after that he became a dupe or as you like to characterize him sympathetic to the Communist cause.
I would much prefer to be called a dupe than a sympathizer since the former represents a lack of understanding while the latter affirms the understanding and buys into the cause.
Communism and socialism had tremendous following in the US in the 1930's at which time it became fashionable to believe in the Marxist line. Hollywood was awash in it, just check the record. Murrow did good work from the rooftops of hotels in London during the blitz but like all media people he needed access to remain viable in the business. His access was Hollywood, the epicenter of socialist thought and the residue of Fabian Society, among others.

"If those folks weren't duped" then it leaves them only one avenue ..fellow travellers, witting of what they were doing.
And McCarty in the end, after the records were declassified was proven correct in his accusations.

One thing I am astonished with after rereading you comments.
It's that I wasted my time anwering them.

..sincerely not trying for the last word here, that will be written long long after I'm gone. However the container holding the milk that has been spilt so far is apparently a vessel whose bottom is fathomless.

Buddy has observed my shortcomings toward the niceities of internet discourse. Pushing sixty,very close to a millionaire with NO debt I now am unconstrained by the PC environment I had to follow in the government and the businesss world.
That sure doesn't mean I'm right in my thinking, it just means I can take a shorter route to what I think is straight talk'n truth. I keep waiting for my testostrone levels to fall away at a faster rate but it would appear that the appellation curmudgeon might apply prior to that event occuring.
Hell, I once gavelled down the sitting Speaker of the House of the State of Florida for disrupting a meeting that I was chairing as president of a Republican Men's Club.
It helps some folks if they do one of two things with my writing...1. read every other word, or 2. skip over my offering.

BTW..no one answered my query as to whether it is legal to call John Kerry a pig and a traitor when you send an email to his office?

Saw two funny T shirts at the mall

SEX IS POPULAR BECAUSE IT'S CENTRALLY LOCATED

and


LIFE: SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED AND 100% FATAL

Thanks Buddy but I already sent the email two days ago..so far no calls or knocks on the door.

Yeah remember when the Salt II negotitation were going on and kerry was all over the US about how intractible we were. I wrote an editorial letter asking how could we agree to parity withthe Soviets when they were building and deploying new missiles every week and we were sitting on Salt I.
The guys a traitor and you're right he should have been shot for his treachery...and as you said he was nominated by one of the two major parties in this country...that's why I say we have a slow motion revolution in this country and a hot war in the ME.
So Texas is where folks need to be, where the spirit of 1836 still beats in the heart of each man and woman.
