Newly uncovered press items from the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) are raising concerns about how the CPUSA might be influencing Sherrod Browns policy stances. The CPUSA appears to believe it has a vested interest in the senator.
Prior to his public announcement of candidacy for the Ohio Senate seat, Brown exhibited affinity with the CPUSA by permitting an editorial he authored to be published in the communist paper, the Peoples World. In the piece, Brown argued that mild entitlement reforms passed in 2003 justified lamenting that democracy crumbles under the cover of darkness. Apparently, CPUSA agreed with the senator.

Communists are all ignoramuses. They only look smart when they've got a machine gun in their hands.
The last line of the op-ed....
“You can do a lot in the middle of the night, under the cover of darkness.”
As for Sharod Brown, I thought she stepped out of the picture after BB exposed her??
That Brown guy is the Senator who was flown from his mother’s funeral, jet waiting on the tarmac, to go vote for 0bamascare. A former USMC (A’Stan vet) runs against him.
Breitbart just had a story about the CPUSA liking something Brown did for them.
Thanks....I guess I got him confused with Sherry Sherod, the Pigford beyotch.
Well, you have to take care of your base.
