And yet to this day, liberals refuse to regard Communists as what they are: evil. They're just, well, lefties who may have got a bit carried away, that's all. For a lib, it's "academic freedom" to have Marxist professors, but the same libs would riot if a professed Nazi were on staff. Somehow in their warped view the Communists weren't as bad as their first cousins the Nazis, when in reality they were even worse.

Nor can they admit that Trumbo or Hiss or the Rosenbergs were traitors in the service of the Kremlin.
