NOTE The "Roy Cohn" Speech

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:17.000
Last, really last but not least, that wonderful organization from coast to coast which holds our torch aloft in the colleges and universities, the Students for America, Mr. George Reitman.

2
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:35.000
Roy Cohn, you are here tonight as the great American who went to Washington to fight for his country.

3
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:45.000
And to the great shame of all Americans, you were pilloried and smeared in as violent exhibitions as this country has ever seen.

4
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:56.000
But if this be any comfort, your martyrdom is a demonstration to all of us of the controlling influence the Communists and their allies still wield in American politics.

5
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:04.000
There has been only one thing wrong with the famous methods of you or that other great American, Senator Joe McCarthy.

6
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:12.000
You have been too kind, too courteous, too considerate.

7
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:34.000
Too deep to realize the full extent of the viciousness and venom of the left smear burn that is dedicated to drive every effective anti-communist from public life.

8
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:42.000
The communists and their New Dealer cousins may have their family quarrels at times, but essentially they have been united.

9
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.000
United for 21 years in a popular front regime of the left.

10
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:55.000
As the Chicago Tribune actually put it, the case of Roy Cohn is the American Dreyfus case.

11
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:09.000
As Dreyfus was redeemed, so shall Roy Cohn be when the American people back their government from the criminal alliance of communist socialist New Dealers and Eisenhower Dewey Republicans.

12
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:39.000
And now, and now, on behalf of

13
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:47.000
Well, there was more, but I thought I'd better shorten it.

14
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:59.000
And now, on behalf of the Eastern Regional Headquarters of Students for America, I'd like to present Mr. Cohn with a set of resolutions we adopted at our last meeting.

15
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.000
Eugen

16
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.000
Eugen

17
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:56.000
I want to say to Roy Cohn that he should appreciate this, because he's used to running and even instigating runaway grand juries.

18
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:04.000
And was it not truly said? I took the mouth of Bayes.

19
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:14.000
George, I'll see you later. You're not really a Bayes.
