From News Max ...Liberals haven't been so alarmed by a book since 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'. Here the complete text. For those who can read. Taro Coulter Rips Clooney's McCarthy Film Best-selling author Ann Coulter says you can credit - or rather, blame - her for George Clooney's recent movie about the Joe McCarthy era. Clooney "claims he was driven to make the movie ?Good Night, and Good Luck' because ?a book came out about how great McCarthy was,'" Coulter writes in a column. She excerpts a recent published interview where the actor was asked if Coulter was the reason behind his movie: "Q: Ann Coulter's ?Treason'? "GC: Yes. "Needless to say I was shocked to learn that George Clooney can read. Liberals haven't been so alarmed by a book since Uncle Tom's Cabin.'" Coulter's book "Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism" explores, among a number of issues, the career of Sen. Joe McCarthy, and maintains he was basically right about Soviet agents working for the U.S. government. Coulter cites the movie's "two examples of McCarthy's perfidy," Annie Lee Moss and Milo Radulovich. "As described in detail on Pages 62-64 of Treason,' Moss was a proved Communist Party member - who happened to be working in the Code Room of the Pentagon," writes Coulter, whose latest book is "How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)." "It was an act of sheer madness. "As for Milo Radulovich, he had absolutely nothing to do with McCarthy. McCarthy never mentioned his name... "I guess [Clooney] borrowed some of Al Franken's 'fact-checkers.'" "Good Night, and Good Luck," which Clooney directed, focuses on Edward R. Murrow's attempt to take down McCarthy through his news program. But Coulter says "it was hardly an act of bravery" for Murrow to attack McCarthy. "Every known news outlet was attacking McCarthy ... Murrow merely jumped on the liberal bandwagon." Coulter adds that she doesn't intend to see Clooney's movie, saying "half the reviewers so far have said 'good night' to Clooney, and the other half have said 'good luck.'"
