no, I didn't do a poll. But that was the "word on the street" and my
friends in the CP didn't deny it.

CB: "word on the street" from anti-CPers ?  My friends in the CP did
deny it.

and Nixon was an ally of J. Edgar Hoover, who was busy denying freedom
of
political association to the CP. Yes, Hoover shuffled off to that big
dress shop in the sky that year, but his "truth" went marching on...

^^^^^
 CB:  Wow. That's a stretch, but such stretches are not uncommon in the
mental gymnastics of anti-Communism and anti-Sovietism.

So, the Soviet Union was not the "patron" of the CPUSA ?

(Michael will step in now,  because straightening out old anti-Soviet
thinking is too pro-Soviet. One wonders why since the SU is a ghost.
What to fear  from discussing the defunct SU ?)
