I lived through the McCarthy era, and there was nothing funny about it. That rum soaked bastard ruined many lives with his imagination. He turned good people into sheep who were too yellow to object. Burl Ives trashed Pete Seeger. That was unforgivable. Pete left the Communist party in, I believe, 1943. He served in the Army during WW2. What did Burl Ives or Spangler Arlington Baugh (Robert Taylor) ever do for the country?

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
