I say "Godfathers" because they are the head honchos, male. They are also either Jewish or White.

How interesting.

Those aren't mutually exclusive.

A sort of grandfather to the neo-cons, Senator Joe McCarthy.

Henry 'Scoop Jackson' is definatly one of the fathers of the neo-cons, so I got to wondering what were the influences on the way he thought.

and I found this, but it is not a definate because Robert Kennedy gets drafted onto the committee after this (he is a assistant counsel here), also McCarthy appears to campaigned against Jackson when Jackson was running to become a Senator just before this, so it is possible as a junior senator Jackson is there to make up the numbers and possibly to give McCarthy a hard time:

not the Unamerican Activities thingy which he was not a part of.

i would have noticed the Democratic guys had bunked off for this section of trials but they appear to have sat in on others:
