PC dreams of a day when proving someone is a liberal makes them guilty of a crime.According to liberal mythology, Annie Lee Moss, a semi-literate black wash-woman, was hauled before the committee and accused of being a Communist. Moss, in fact, had been absolutely identified as a Communist Party member by a reliable FBI informant. (David Oshinsky, A Conspiracy So Immense). She was listed in the Communist Partys records. The Party newspaper, the Daily Worker, was delivered to her home- and followed when she moved. (Rogers v. Communist Party of the United States, Subversive Activities Control Board, September 19, 1958). And, Annie Lee Moss was also working in the Code Room of the Pentagon. At the hearings, Ms. Moss mentioned that there were three other people named Annie Lee Moss in the Washington, DC phonebook. The press, of course, accepted this and called McCarty a demagogue.
Of course, none of the press looked in the phonebook: there were not three other Annie Lee Moss- just one. At 72 R Street, SW. The same address listed in the Communist Party records. (Thomas C. Reeves, The Life and Times of Joe McCarthy, p.568-569) Even after the hearings, and the Rosenberg Case, the Army rehired her.
The myth was projected by a Broadway play, A Question of Loyalty, in which a phonebook actually had three Moss.
Provide proof she broke the law.
In her mind, anyone that every belonged to the CP should be shot.
IF that is true, then quite simply she is un-American. It is impossible to support criminalizing dissent and support a free Republic. It is just as impossible to support trying to limit dissent and support a free Republic.
PC, your thoughts on Ravi's accusation?
