3. A white person with a protest sign reading "End KKK Terror" is real commie all right.

4. I really must run right now

But as soon as I return, I intend to watch this video. Thanks. Hope it contains my favorite line from Hoover where they show a clip of Bob Dylan at a Washington rally, with Hoover saying something about "He may be seen wearing long hair and carrying a guitar."

That's too good for me to forget.

5. The video should be titled "How to Spot a Fantastic Lover."

7. Ends with that bastion of freedom and democracy, Jack Webb.

Saying, "Frightening, isn't it?"

Yes, Jack, it is. Anything resembling McCarthyism is always frightening. But in 1950, you didn't know that, did you?

Too bad, you ignorant fool, Jack Webb.

Those are "Just the facts, man."

8. ''We have always been at war with Eastasia'' - K&R :-/ n/t

9. Gives me chills.

Though 50 years ago---this is the history of why liberals and unions and OWS are so demonized and weakened today.

12. The Palmer Raids and Red Scare after WWI

was the first wave of rightwing reaction in America. Prior to WWI, socialism was making huge gains in America, with socialists being elected to Congress and state/local government.

10. I would debate this with you comrades but I have to go: It's for my own good.

Your actions on this thread will be reported to the proper authorities.

11. Lol that "Red Nightmare" film (clip at 2:00) is hilarious.

I think I saw that when I was 12 or so... It greatly enhanced by view of communism, actually.
