That is not what I asked. Those questions are easy. Of course they can say whatever they want. No one has ever questioned the communist's right to march or speak. It was the other stuff done to the communists that are the tough questions and really focus on what happened to the communists in the fifties.
This is what I asked?

What about an investigation as to whether members of Neo-Nazi groups were working in the United States government?
What if they held hearings and interviewed the leaders about their activities?
If a lawyer defending ones of these Neo - Nazis was shown to be member of a Neo-Nazi party would people consider digging up such information as "smear tactics"?
And what if it turned out that some Hollywood writers, directors and producers may have been members of or were currently members of Neo-Nazi parties?
Would anyone have a problem with Congress investigating that?
If there was a suspicion considering whether a Hollywood writer producer or director was either a current or former member of a neo-nazi party and they refused to answer whether they were a current or former member of a Neo Nazi organization would anyone care if the studios decided not to hire them?
Would it be out of line for a studio to ask before they hire someone that they state that they are not, nor have ever been a member of a Neo Nazi group, and if they had been to disavow that membership?
Really. Who would have a problem with that?

No - but I would have had no problem with him being questioned by a congressional committee. And I would have no problem with, someone, especially a jewish person, firing him for his political beliefs (which were in sympathy with a group that promoted the violent overthrow of US government).

I specifically pointed out that I was not saying something like this. I said being a member of the communist party did not make you guilty, just like talking about murdering someone did not make you are murderer. But if you took affirmative steps to assist a hoaril foreign power or to implement a violent takeover of the US government then that could be treason.

Originally posted by Not Bob because the Soviets were aiding the North Koreans and Chinese, should we have arrested Armand Hammer and Occidental Petroleum for trading with the enemy?

Depends on what Armand Hammer and Occidental Petroleum were doing.
