Hate Mail - Not All Of The Hollywood 10 Were Jewish, Apparently Only The Ones You Care About

First, not all of the Hollywood 10 were Jewish, Dalton Trumbo's ancestry was  Swiss Protestant, Adrian Scott's was Irish Catholic, some of the others I'm not sure of.  [Update:  I forgot Ring Lardner jr. was also one of the 10.]

Obviously there was no black list against people for being Jewish BECAUSE ALL OF THEM HAD BEEN WORKING IN THE FILM INDUSTRY FOR A LONG TIME. Considering how many of the big studios were owned by Jewish producers that idea is ridiculous. They were black listed because they had been or were Communists, members of the Communist Party which was, at the start of that era, a Stalinist party, supported by and supporting the most vicious living mass murderer, as I've pointed out before, as Communist writers, directors, actors in the United States were finding it impossible to find work under their names, their great hero was murdering writers, directors, actors, etc. etc. etc. and was mounting pogroms against Jews.  He had conducted purges and show trials for two decades by that time, something which American Communists not only knew of but organized petition campaigns IN SUPPORT OF.  Some of the most lauded heroes of the anti-anti-Communist legends signed onto a petition supporting Stalin's show trials and executions.  That many of those Stalin murdered were his fellow Communists, more than a few of them Jewish, as well, dissolves your accusations on that count into hypocritical hypocrisy.   There's a lot of that in the play-left, that's its strongest weakness.
