There actually were Bolsheviks at the march yesterday. More properly, there were Bush supporters who dressed as Bolsheviks. They had put together some brilliant signs, illustrated in Soviet realist style, showing John Kerry wielding a worker's hammer, depicting Marx, Lenin, Engels and Kerry in heroic profile. The signs were emblazoned "Communists for Kerry," and "The next generation building communism for America."
"We're just spoofing," one of the men told me. They'd linked up on Free Republic, the ultra-right-wing Internet site and, well, when these people link up, stuff like "Communists for Kerry" is one of their more polite ideas. They slipped into the march and nobody seemed to notice, object or recognize that they weren't actually communists and weren't actually for Kerry. Many of the signs yesterday said, "Bush Lied," but when his supporters do it, it still works.

Yeah - just a snip from a "main-stream" "journalist" who thinks that CNN/ABC/CBS/NBC are in the center and always tell the truth. At least he did this in his column, and not in a news report, though that would be expected.
GOOD JOB NY FREEPERS! (and I hope that you all showered right after getting away from that crowd!)

Communists For Kerry - one of the funniest parodies I've ever seen. Check out their site, but don't be drinking anything near the monitor...

Way to go Freepers! Bump!!!
To: pittsburgh gop guy
They just don't have a sense of humor, do they?
Great job, Freepers.

They slipped into the march and nobody seemed to notice, object or recognize that they weren't actually communists and weren't actually for Kerry. THAT'S THE POINT.
Good luck going to a pro-Bush rally and holding up a 'Communists for Bush' sign with Stalin's smiling mug on it. (Fashion tip: Wear Kevlar. Lots of Kevlar.)

amazing how leftists (as exemplified by the nitwit columnist you quoted) don't recognize satire...I guess it requires more forebrain functions than they have to spare after walking and breathing are taken into consideration....

Silly liberal, don't fuss. I'd be cranky too if my side had no sense of humor. I'd be even crakier if my side was a pack of unwashed, illiterate hippies chanting inane slogans and making vapid, witless signs with crayola markers.
