Let us not assassinate this lad further, Senator. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?

I admit that I am a member of the Communist Party, I admit that I was propagating the ideas of communism, that I was showing to the proletarians what injustice is being done to them. But I do NOT feel guilty, because I do not recognize the judgment of a bourgeois court, but only the judgment of my Party! (1)

Speaking of parties, I'm throwing a wicked beach party this week on Brioni Islands. Sophia Loren and Liz Taylor will be here. Bring a swimsuit and a hunting rifle!

I wish to invoke my fifth amendment right against self-incrimination and respectfully decline to answer the Senator's question. spends next fifteen years writing screenplays under pseudonyms

I started out as one, but after I was finally able to purge Korean Communist Party leader and Soviet puppet Pak Ho'n-yo'ng and that Maoist security minister Ch'oe Ch'ang-ik, it was simply a matter of extolling my Juche philosophy, which stoked domestic nationalism while rejecting both Soviet de-Stalinization and Maoism.

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men — not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular. This is no time for men who oppose Senator McCarthy's methods to keep silent, or for those who approve. We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape responsibility for the result. There is no way for a citizen of a republic to abdicate his responsibilities. As a nation we have come into our full inheritance at a tender age. We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. The actions of the junior Senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad, and given considerable comfort to our enemies. And whose fault is that? Not really his. He didn't create this situation of fear; he merely exploited it — and rather successfully. Cassius was right. "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves." Good night, and good luck.

I'll have to check with my physician about this to see if I can get my conscience surgically removed. proceeds to be blacklisted

Well yes comrade, but then again I am in communist country. We support comrade Gotwald memory. What are you saying, we like being in communist party, right?
