Oh yeah, taking on McCarthyism - what a brave thing to do, what, 50 years later??
What is even sadder are all the mopes that think Syriana is non-fiction.
Watching Clooney, this pampered hothouse flower, pat himself on the back is a cringing embarassment.

You know what’s hilarious? All these liberals talking about Hollywood taking on current issues...yet a lot of these movies took five years or more to make. Syriana, in fact, was based on a book written during the Clinton administration.

OK Georgie boy, I got one for you. Make a movie about Mohammed lusting after another man. Hollywood already did something similar with Jesus in The Last Temptation of Christ (It was a woman however). Or, how about a tender sensitive love story about two male Muslim jihadists doing what homosexuals do on film. Brokeback Jihad, maybe.
Because Hollywood NEVER portrays Muslims in a negative light, right?
I also enjoy how you absolutely missed the point of The Last Temptation of Christ. That was nice.

I didn’t see the movie, but I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that he left out the part about McCarthy being right.
The "attempted" communist takeover of Hollywood was also covered in the biography’s of Ronald Reagan, John Wayne and Charleton Heston (I believe).

I think he was referring to today’s McCarthyism But since you missed that very obvious point you probably will not get this one either. And by the way standing up to any political movement that tries to remove our Freedom’s regardless of the timeline is a brave thing.

Mc Carthy was right. Gee not the way my history book reads.

McCarthy was right. The NKVD, later renamed KGB, infiltrated into the academic,intertainment, and news industry in America and Europe during the ‘30s and ‘40s. During the ‘50s their covert intel operations were quite effective in penetrating industrial and governmental structures in England,US,South America, and Africa. The McCarthy hearings were loud and public and functioned quite well as a smokescreen behind which the FBI,MI5-MI6, and military intel in several countries operated to break many Soviet spy rings and covert money gathering operations. But go ahead and keep your head firmly inserted in your rectum and tell yourself the communists are the Great Heros of the 20th century. We will continue to laugh at your stupid ass.

I suspose that you get all of your history from Hollywood, right?
Try the Verona project transcripts. Back in the ‘50’s we had broke the Soviet (Diplomatic?) code. We read their mail. This project was declassified in the ‘90’s.
The Verona transcripts prove that the Soviet Communists were directing activities of Communists in the US.

I think he was referring to today’s McCarthyism.
As I said I didn’t see the looney-Clooney’s movie. However I thought it was about the Blacklisted Commies in the ‘50’s.
I shouldn’t have to point out that there’s a difference between a home-grown political party versus a "political party" that’s being directed by a foreign power.
