John L. McClellan, Henry M. Jackson, Stuart Symington. They took a
little break from the subcommittee from July 10, 1953 to January 25,
1954. Read up on these guys before you start slapping labels on them,
Gunner.

Three? A whole three? wow..Im underwhelmed

Gunner

Oh... Sorry, I assumed you were a little more familiar with that era
than you now appear to be. Figured you might only need a reminder of
the Democratic members of the subcommittee, that you would know that Roy
Cohn, Chief Counsel, was a Democrat, along with the most active deputy
counsel (some guy named Kennedy; Robert, maybe).

The Democratic subcommittee members remained staunch anti-communists
throughout their long careers, long after McCarthy was discredited.

Commie hunting started out as a bi-partisan affair, you know. Friction
on the subcommittee between Republicans and Democrats was mostly over
staff hiring and such.

I know you often want cites; if you want them in this case, let me know.
I can fill up your in-box many times over.

So how come they missed all the Commies, and let so many peoples lives
be ruined by false accusations?
