What is peculiar about this particular right-wing rebirth is the speed with which it is happening. We had the crash last year, as in 1929. The financial gods were duly dethroned, the banks started to fail, and the mighty were humbled, as per the time-honored script. A market-worshiping Republican Party went down in an avalanche of obloquy. A scary new populism made the cover of Newsweek back in March.
But then we skipped a step. Some new version of the Bonus Army never marched on Washington. No Huey Long materialized to haunt the wealthy and we have endured no wave of sit-down strikes.
Instead, we proceeded straight to the backlash, raging against a leftist upsurge that maybe should have happened but that didn't.
Today, from the floor of town-hall meetings and the heights of the Republican Party, alarmed Americans fret about secret socialists and denounce the president as a dictator. They make plans to pull their children out of school rather than have them exposed to his hypnotic oratorical powers. They quail at imaginary death panels, storm at imaginary threats to gun rights, and froth at an imaginary birth-certificate scandal. And it has required only eight months of Democratic administration to bring the right to a boil.
Actually, it required even less time than that. This particular wave of outrage actually began back in February, when the stimulus had just been approved and when the health-care debate was still entirely theoretical. And even then it was as if an iron decade of left-wing oppression had been stoically endured. Remember the tea-party catchphrase? "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore," protester after protester would rage, as though the Obama administration, then in its fifth week, had already ground them under its heel for years.

That will be a cold day in hell, Mr. Franks

"Jones was arrested during the L.A. riots and spent a short time in jail. "I met all these young radical people of color," he recalls, 'I mean really radical: communists and anarchists. And it was, like, "This is what I need to be a part of." I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.'..."

From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.
Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

That “familiar bogeyman” killed how many people in the 20th Century. That “bogeyman” is not dead.
I’ll bet Mr Franks hated RWR for defeating his comrades in the USSR.
Comrade Franks is doing what he has been ordered to do. Expect a full on media assault (Alinsky style) now for anyone that doesn’t step aside for the commies to overthrow our country.
A market-worshiping Republican Party..”
Soooo I guess we should be a government-worshipping party, right?
Secret? I don't think so. But let's judge them by their actions. There does tend to be just a little secrecy when it comes to our current President's formative years, no? Or are these reports of lawyer fees to keep his past hidden just dredged up out of nowhere?
That Bogeyman is occupying the oval office right now.
DILDO ALERT!

Major League “A’S”.........Every one of them should be in jail.
It’s all RACISM!!!
Franks to Conservatives:
“Hold still and let us screw you for a few more months before you start getting all pi$$ed off at it!
Gee, I guess that whole Soviet Union Maoist thing was just an illusion. None of it happened just like none of this stuff with the communists in the White House is happening. Does Fox still own the Wall Street Journal?
pissant,
I can always count on you to post a really good article with a valid point.
We don’t want a Pinko Commie in the White House.
Obama's Communist Network Links.
BTW, this fellow also played a large part in "outing" Van Jones, per Cliff Kincaid.
Really? No reds? Then who's convinced people that there should be some kind of global move to get rid of the current energy systems for a utopian "green" system?
Then who is it that has passed the huge stimulus to pass billions into the hands of labor?
Who's trying to transform 1/6 of the US economy over to the Gov't so they can dictate our health care choices?
Reds? Yes, I think so.
Paul Revere just rode by and Mr Franks is suggesting we all have a sing along.
Yo Franks...
Our outrage began before the election. We know who Obama and his minions are.
