#3 But what is perhaps less obvious is that communism did not just vanish in a puff of historical smoke.

That's because its all about timing. McCarthy was a grandstanding pol using the commies for show and political gain, but no different than the later Robert Kennedy and the Mob show. The difference was that there were communists and their sympathizers in academia and the media who could 'pay back' for the effort by making any further hunts for the reds a social no-no. The fall of the wall and the Soviet Union should have started the examination of all the apologists and supporters in the culture, to tag them with the dark side of their cult in a manner they had used for fifty years to tar America for its slips and shortcomings. It should have been loud, public and just as unforgiving.

#6 Prokopius2k: Notice that academia virtually ignored the revelations exposed in the Venona Project. No surprise there....
