Red Scare, Black List: The McCarthy Hearings on Anti-American Activities
Orson Welles, director, actor, writer: movie Citizen Kane
dared to question excesses of capitalism.
Blacklisted: left America 1948, silenced.
Langston Hughs, jazz poet: Harlem Renaissance,
dared to citicize treatment of Negros in America,
called to testify 1953. Blacklisted, silenced.
Dorothy Parker, writer, poet, critic, arrested 1950 at the height of her career
for supporting Screenwriter's Guild and the Anti Nazi League
both commie fronts. Blacklisted, silenced.
And the Labor Union leaders and the homosexual educators
and the left-leaning liberal members of intellectual communities
who attended secret meetings, called one another comrade,
who hated America and tried to bring it down
in league with Russian commie red operatives.
We saw what was going on
revealed by Herbert Philbrick who weekly foiled
outrageous plots on the TV series I led Three Lives
in which, as a double spy, he infiltrated evil doings
right here in freedom-loving America.
