It also tells of reasons they were spied on.

3. When you get to heaven...
... if there is one, you can look far and wide, and you won't find J. Edgar.

If you wind up in purgatory, be sure to look in the corner where all the other evil characters are taunting him with threats of turning him in.

4. seems like I read that Lucy joined the Communist Party to please her dad
But I could be mistaken.

You know I really wonder what John Lennon would be up to now, if he wasn't killed.

5. Take a look at what the actual physical "blacklist" looked like
Edited on Sun Apr-11-04 12:31 AM by For PaisAn
Click on the link below to see the "Red Channels" phamplet and see some of the pages listing "commie subversives" and their "crimes"

The "blacklisting" of American entertainers began shortly after World War II, when suspected Communists in Hollywood were called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Some who refused to answer questions or implicate others went to jail. Others lost their careers, several fled the country. In 1950 "Red Channels" was published by Counterattack: The Newsletter of Facts To Combat Communism. It contained a list of entertainers and the organizations they were or had once been affiliated with that were now considered subversive. This, in essence, is the blacklist. Below are links to images of the introduction, and to the pages of some of the more famous entertainers on the list.

8. And remember that
the blacklist hit far more than celebrities. School teachers, union members, scientists, wageslaves -- anyone who failed to cower.
