Up to 80 Communists in the House!

[fskimospy]

Beware, America! The House of Representatives may have as many as 80 members of the Communist Party!

As they are apparently all Democrats, that means that up to 41% of all sitting Democratic House members are living a double life as Communist secret agents. The real question now is what we are going to do about it? Should we institute some sort of Freedom Test in order to prevent more commies from being elected? Should we ban all red ties? Should we replace the speaker's gavel with something less hammer like, as it's only a sickle away from USSR status?

I'm really glad that the Republicans are on the case here. Sometimes I think they are the only sane people left in America.

Easy - just allow unlimited donations to campaigns to target and defeat each. They've already taken out people like Russ Feingold.

 

[Lemon law]

Yes, bring back the McCarthy era, the house committee on un American activities, and while we are at, the Spanish inquisition. Our prayers are answers, as Allen West has volunteered to be the Next Joe McCarthy.

Psssssssst---A little birdie told me, if you want the secret names on the lists Allen West Waves, you will find them inside the hollow pumpkins Allen West has hidden at an undisclosed location.

Sorry for the rushed post, I am late for a very important date, the biggest tea party so far this year. BYOB to spice up the tea a bit.

 

[Moonbeam]

When these assholes get a face full of tomatoes things will change. The fact is most of the folk they talk to are just like them. The idiots we elect are us.

lulz @ the top comment on that article.

In case it somehow disappears:

"I told you there were 80 Communists in Congress"

-Joe McCarthy

 

[fskimospy]

This really is amazing, and the most amazing part is that I believe this guy genuinely represents the views of a not-insignificant number of Americans. We so crazy.

 

[FoBoT]

each congressional district is free to elect whomever they choose. be they communists, socialists, authoritarians, libertarians, anarchists, totalitarians, fascists, Statists, etc etc as long as they meet the laws/FEC regulations for candidates

Democracy consists of choosing your dictators

Democracy gives every man the right to be his own oppressor.

 

[Steeplerot]

We will never give up the 80 comrades. Think again you capitalist running dogs!

Thanks for the lulz this morning. What would the right be without all the bedwetting commie conspiracies underlying their failed think tank funded free market-utopian schemes?

The jokes on you righties, but you are too late, I bring you live streaming from outside Rush Limbaugh's station.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZS2GthG1hQ.


The end has begun! (if you look in front of the tanks you will see Limbaugh's fat ass making a run for it -in typical chickenhawk RW fashion.)

I did not realize Batman was in the House of reps....

 

[PokerGuy]

I think they are called the "Progressive Caucus" , plus another 5 that haven't declared allegiance to the communist party officially yet.

 

[woolfe9999]

But of course. During the Cold War, super heroes used to fight evil commies to preserve and protect the American Way. It's only natural that some of them, now too old and arthritic to combat the pinkos head on, are now republican members of Congress.

 

[theeedude]

Inmates running the GOP asylum. What else is new?

Heh. A long time believer in Smokin' Joe, I suspect.

Allan West? He ain't right in the haid, ain't right a-tall. Any fool can see that. It was a lot easier for him to hide that in the military for all those years, where some kinds of crazy are useful & tightly controlled.

There is a difference between:

"I heard there are up to 80 communists"
and
"I believe there are up to 80 communists"

The article doesn't even make any sense. If what he said, the only thing provided in quotes is "he's heard". Okay? How many people, when referring about themselves, speak the words "he's heard"? Why not supply the full comment? If he were referring to himself he would have began with "I've heard".

So some nutjob congressman from some nutjob district looks at the opposition and sees nutjobs. *yawn*

One thing that will mostly die with my generation, we didn't grow up under the Soviets. "Duh commies r a commin!" does not impress us, and makes whoever's saying it look like and old fogie.

He spoke badly. I have no problem believing the Congressional Progressive Caucus is composed of Marxists; I have a lot of problem believing they are "card carrying" members of the Communist Party, which is still a political death sentence in most of the country.

Those scorning McCarthy need to learn about Henry Wallace and the Venona Papers project. The OSS/CIA tapped numerous trans-continental cables and knew very well how many prominent Democrats were working for the Communists, both paid and volunteer. The CIA fed names and information to McCarthy, using his patriotism (and to be sure his enormous ego and overweening ambition) to out these agents, either removing them or making them ineffectual, while maintaining the secret of the taps. Without these intercepts and the OSS going directly to Roosevelt, Henry Wallace would have been our 33rd President. He would have unilaterally withdrawn from Germany and withdrawn protection from the European states not then occupied by the Soviet Union. The USSR would have expanded over all of Europe, and even if the USA had not been converted to Communism we would have had no markets to sustain our manufacturing boom of the fifties and sixties. There would thus be no economic and military superpower to force the USSR into glasnost and contain Red China, and most if not all of the world would today live in bondage.

Nice raving paranoid fantasy of revisionist history combined with alternate history, worthy of Orson Scott Card.

Obviously, the whole world is a giant conspiracy, hell bent on destroying America & making the baby Jesus cry.

Teahadists don't have to make sense, and they seldom do.

West is just stroking the erroneous zones of his irrational fanbase, tossing out chunks of red meat for their consumption.

 

[Ninjahedge]

It would help if he did not toss his meat the same way he tossed his cookies.

 

[Lithium381]

socialist, not communist . . .. . not any less dangerous to the future of the country though

 

[cubby1223]

No.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0412/75025.html

No, what? The article in the original post contained insufficient information that I didn't care enough about to search google for the rest Why didn't you post that article first? Seems to me you needed to go back and verify your original claim

Doesn't change the fact that the person who wrote the article placed words in quotes that were not said, which is why I questioned the article.

Do you have a reading comprehension problem?

 

[cubby1223]

I'm actually surprised NBC hasn't yet declared West a racist against minorities
