*Well, I take it you actually believe that, however the actuality of it was they had no idea of the good political idea they had hit on.  Later, of course, deeper Democratic Party thinkers (mainly in Congress) saw the advantage of the people suckling on the government teet forever. Most of those thinking there was some deep-seated conspiracy, on the part of the CPUSA or the Kremlin, were proven wrong by Nixon, among others. Most were merely idealists/idiots. Not to say there weren't some dedicated Communists and anarchists worming their way in too.  Not to say Moscow didn't, belatedly see the need to mine information from their sympathizer's. Politically, it wasn't until FDR was, for the most part dead, did the Democratic strategists begin to realize that with a bit of manipulation, the underclass could be exploited into a consistency they could use. Those guys weren't Communists, just opportunists. --~ [[User:TK|TerryK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 00:37, 29 March 2007 (EDT)

**Moynihan Commission Report reads,

::''The first fact is that a significant Communist conspiracy was in place in Washington, New York, and Los Angeles'' [http://www.fas.org/sgp/library/moynihan/appa6.html]

::''By 1950, when it was learned that Weisband had revealed the existence of the VENONA project to the Soviets, the United States Government possessed information which the American public desperately needed to know: proof that there had been a serious attack on American security by the Soviet Union, with considerable assistance from what was, indeed, an “enemy within.” The fact that we knew this was now known to, or sufficiently surmised by, the Soviet authorities. Only the American public was denied this information.'' [http://www.fas.org/sgp/library/moynihan/appa7.html]  [[User:RobS|RobS]] 01:00, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
