The attack falsely minimized the Communist designs as a myth. and suggested that the FBIs efforts were incipient fascism. antilabor. and Gestapo. The suggestions in "The UnAmericans" flow in an identical vein. Here again the Communist program of subversion within the United States is ridiculed as a myth. and the committee is pilloried as a hate group. There is an absurd attempt to link the committee to antiSemitic. antiNegro. antiCatholic. and antiimmigrant prejudices. I need quote only one of many examples from the volume: HUAC hates the subversive in much the same way that the antiSemite hates the Jew. the racist hates the Negro. the fundamentalist hates the Catholic. the patrioteer hates the alien. But unlike its frequently frustrated nongovernmental counterparts.
Identified stereotypes
Equating hatred of subversives with hatred of various minority groups.
